when installing a dp do you need to keep those spring loaded bolts or regular bolts with the same thread pattern will do with out the springs? fyi, my dp has the flex pipe on it.

 

Well did the DP you are installing come with bolts?

 

Yeah, but the stock spring bolts could not reach the dump pipe. so i had extra ones that came with the whole exhuast sytem. they were long enough to go through the flange and reach the dump pipe to bolt right on up.

 

Ditch the spring bolts

 

well obviously.... use the hardware the system came with ((:

 

If you have the metal flex joint in the downpipe then you can afford to eliminate the flex afforded by the spring bolts

 

use the hardware it came with or buy some bolts!

 

thanks everyone.
