2015 mid pipe install problem

Bought a mid pipe and went to install. No hardware included. I then realized after taking off the factory mid pipe that the studs were welded onto the factory pipe. Is this how it is on the pre 2015? With no hardware I reinstalled the factory mid pipe until I decide what to do. Just sucks as I was hoping to be running this by now.

I was told the factory hardware could be reused but not seeing how that is possible when the studs are welded to the factory flange.

Are you talking about a test pipe?

You just need to buy some bolts/nuts that fit in the holes of your test pipe. The better pipes come with hardware. I'd recommend a couple lock washers if you can't find (non-nylon) locking nuts.

Yea you just need to do like the guy listed above said just buy 4 bolts and nuts and you will also need to two 3 inch two bolt gaskets.
