Sorry for posting this here. I also posted it in the exhaust section but was hoping to get faster help here. I've been trying to install my Crawford cats all afternoon. I finally got all the bolts off. The new cats didn't come with any nuts. Only bolts. Am I supposed to reuse the old nuts? Thanks.

 

Where did you order the cats from? Mine came with new bolts but I suppose you could re use the old ones.

 

I got the Crawford cats from Performance Nissan Parts. It came with new bolts, but no nuts.

 

Sorry must have read it wrong. Got mine from them also. The shop that installed them put in new nuts.

 

I'll call Crawford on Monday and talk to them. I would think $500 cats should come with some lock nuts. If no success with them, I'll just go to Nissan and pick up some lock nuts since my local Home Depot and Lowe's didn't have any that would fit the Crawford bolts. Buying some generic stainless bolts/nuts would be another option. It's just disappointing since I wanted it installed by tonight.

 

I got my Crawfords from Performance Nissan and they didn't come with nuts either. I just took a bolt to my local hardware store and in the automotive section they found a match. I also got spring lockwashers to be safe.

 

will crawford cats fail air care test?

 

You reuse the old nuts. It's no biggie. You also reuse some of the old bolts.

Thanks for the input guys. When I took off the old ones, the nuts were stuck to the bolts. I'm not sure if I can get them off, so I'll probably just buy new ones.
