I just bought some test pipes off an other member, but they dont come with any of the hardware, could anyone tell me what size and type of bolt to use? From what i understand the upper bolts are attached to the cats, so all i would really need are the upper 3 bolts for each side, right?

 

Go to the hardware store and buy some stainless steel nuts and bolts that fit through the hole


header to cats : 3 bolts each side. if you have stock headers, 1 bolt is permanently fixed in place per side (and you will re-use the stock nuts), so you'd need 2 per side.

cats/TP to y-pipe: 2 bolts each side

Total: 8 nuts/bolts

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Thanks, that sounds good

 

can't reuse the hardware already in there?

 

make sure you get stainless steel! M10x1.5????for size,i'm having a brain fart.

 

thanks guys, got em on...wasnt too bad

 

Did you buy these with gaskets, or did you have to buy a set of gaskets.

I bought a set of used TP's off of a member, but they obviously didnt have gaskets. I would like to buy new ones, but from Nissan it was something stupid like $25 a gasket. Not really sure what to do!

 

ahh, you really dont need new gaskets. just reuse the stock ones. they are metal folks. numerous people have done this with zero problems.

 

Yeah I need gaskets for my stillen testies too. Anyone know where to get these?

 

i reused my stock ones, as Nexx said, they seemed perfectly fine.

 

Wow, thats pretty cool then. I may use a little bit of that high temp adhesive as well just to be sure. Thanks for the info.
