I am in my garage right now, and am finishing my exhaust and test pipe install. I have run into an issue. the bolts with the springs - how in the world doyou get them back on??? My test pipe flange seems to be wider than the cat. HELP!!! I am dying to drive her!!!

 

You need to put the bolt through the spring and compress it while you thread on the nut. Sometimes it can be a bit tricky to get this done. Depending on the width of the flange on the new parts, you may need to get longer bolts as well. Good luck.

 

Sounds like you may need to take a trip to Autozone and pick up some new bolts. This is just one of those installs that should have been very fast and easy but ends up taking 6 hours
