need help installing hks exhaust

I am missing 2 gaskets and 1 bolt. Is it possible to install the exhaust using the gasket and bolts from my stock exhaust?

I'm thinking that that OEM piping is a smaller diameter. Also, with the increased diameter of the HKS, the bolts might be further apart as well. This was the case with other cars I've worked on, so i'm not completely sure with the G.

Would the car shop be able to find something that will work then or do I have to contact HKS directly to get this bolt? I really would like to find one locally.

is it the nut and bolt that you need? or just one of the two.

just use any nut and bolt if its both. if not go to a hardware store and get what you need. as for the gasket just go to kragen and get some gasket material and make your own.

Normally the gaskets that your G came with will work fine, there quality is far superior to aftermarket junk especially where your cats connect.... Enjoy your HKS system, those of us that have it sure do!

This is what I need. The entire bolt with the nut and 2 washers...




Cool, I'm only missing 2 gaskets. Great knowing that I will be able to use the stock gasket to subsitute for the missing ones. However let me know if I will be able to subsitute the missing bolt/nut with the one from my factory exhaust?

Thanks all!

Any nut and bolt that fits through the hole will work if OEM fits through the bolt hole it will work fine. If not take the one you have and go to a hardware store and get one that looks close.
