You probably have the 5 bolt flange like I do on my 5965B..


How many of these people having bolts back out on their kits are NOT running a flex pipe between the down pipe and the exhaust?

i have no flex pipe, I need to get one, Well I just checked my bolts on the dp, seems like 4 of the 5 are still on, however I have an exhaust leak coming from somewhere. Last time this happened my wastegate was loose and I fixed that. Hopefully it is something simple, regardless I ordered some stage 8 bolts and they will be here friday.

Yea we put some bolts in that we found in the garage and it lasted me 2 weeks until today the noise came back and the bolts are missing again. I got to but the correct ones that fit 100 percent.

well i got my stage 8 bolts and they were indeed m8x1.25 25mm, the only issue I have is that I could not get the retainer or clip on, the surface area is too little. Any ideas on this anyone?
Also on a side note my downpipe was not the cause of my exhaust leak, the culprit was my wastegate. One of the three bolts inside my wastegate was loose so I had to tighten that back up and noise was gone.

If you put a dab of high temp silicone and simple lock washers, they won't back out -- at least mine haven't
