I got my Tsudo test pipe the other day, it looks like it's decent quality. However, there was no gasket or bolts/nuts supplied.

IIRC the stock test pipe connects to the midpipe with 17mm bolts/nuts, I'm thinking I should be able to reuse those.

I'm not sure about the DP to Test Pipe though, I will buy a few 3" Exhaust gaskets but what bolts/nuts should I buy? can I reuse the oem hardware?

 

Two of the bolts are welded into the stock cat, so you definitely need to get at least 2. And make sure that the nuts are compatible w/ whatever bolts you get (or buy matching ones at the same time).

 

Right on, do you know what the length was? and 14mm nuts? 17mm again?

 

Look at how thick the flange is... The bolt has to be long enough for twice as thick + the nut...

The nut will depend on the bolt you buy... Bring the test pipe with you at Canadian Tire and pick the bolt that fit...

Don't forget to purchase 2 new exhaust gaskets (about 6$ each)...

And I think it's 4 bolts, not 2...

Also, you might need some strength as exhaust bolts tend to rust REALLY fast so they might be difficult to take off if you are using a floor jack or don't have enough place to extend your tools with a pipe...

 

Cool thanks.

My car is only a month old so the bolts shouldn't be hard to take off, they weren't too bad when i did my catback two weeks ago.
