One spring and one bolt for each side.

Stock Exhaust

(2) Spring bolts, (3) Standard bolts with nuts

New Exhaust will need the bolts listed above and should also come with a necessary bolts to assemble it into one piece (catback) depending on how many pieces it is.

My dual came in four pieces, the two mufflers, the w-pipe, and the pipe with resonater that bolts to the cat.

There needs to be a gasket at each connection.

Since you have a single, you will only utilize one hanger between the cat and the rear axle, and two hangers above the muffler in the rear. Be prepared to get your hands dirty pulling these hangers off. Be sure to make any adjustments to the exhaust while the car is still in the air. Moving the hangers around can pull the exhaust tip a little closer to the bumper.

When it is all locked in and ready, place the rear bar back in with the five bolts (one of these bolts, the smallest one, has to thread into a metal shield that lays on top of this bar which can rattle if missed).

If you would like I have no problem snapping a few pics to help you out. I can get my car up on stands in a matter of seconds with my new 3.5 ton hydraulic jack!

Gotcha. I need to order another new spring and bolt since I only have one.

Thanks for the help, guys. Getting all the parts together seems more confusing than deciding which exhaust I want!

Any particular reason you're not reusing the existing hardware?

I heard it was suggested to use new hardware. I guess I should have looked to see the condition of the old hardware.

No reason not to reuse the old hardware unless the threads are stripped. Put anti-seize on the threads, and you should be good to go.

It's better buying new bolts to have a peace of mind and putting anti-seize as well then reusing the same bolts. Sometimes the old bolts are to rusted or stripped , I rather do it right the first time then worrying about going under my car again . Just say

If its not on bad shape, I might reuse one of the spring and bolts because I only ordered one new one. I figured I can always replace them later if need be.

I would reuse both old ones then and save the new one.
