Try McMaster-Carr at McMaster.com. Use serrated flanged bolts and nuts as they will provide more even pressure on the flanges and do not need lock washers.

If you use lock nuts with nylon inserts they WILL melt. Use a deformed type lock nut.

I'm confused, if these mount where the cats mounted why are there bolts/nuts needed? Just curious becuase I received a set of test pipes w/ no hardware (besides gaskets).

Because the stock cats have studs on them.
