I thought I would pick everyone’s brain on this one.
When I pulled the mid-pipe that has the rear catalytic converter on it, there is a collector with three bolts and three nuts, that holds it to the down pipe (which connects to the exhaust manifold).
Anyway, everything was so rusted, I had to take a cut-off wheel to those three nuts, so I could get the pipe off in order to install my RK Long-Arm Kit. (Currently the heads are still attached to the other side of the collector, even though I cut the Nuts off the other side).
My question is related to the bolts. Are they part of the mid-pipe/rear catalytic pipe, and can’t be replaced unless the entire cat is replaced, or can those bolts be obtained?
Thanks for your thoughts.
