I just bought a Comptech Axleback Exhaust from a member and he shipped the axleback exhaust, but absolutely no bolts or washers. Are these required or can I get away with using the stock bolts/washers that are already holding up my exhaust?

Thanks!

not sure if the hardware makes a difference...but you should be using a new gasket atleast

You need nuts, bolts, and washers. Factory muffler flanges have nuts welded to them so when you remove, you'll only have bolts. Not sure what size off hand. Just take one of the mufflers with you to the hardware store and get 4 bolts, washers. lock washers, nuts. No gasket to worry about - flange to flange mount.

Yeah, I got the directions from Comptech's website. Needed 10mm bolts/nuts/washers. Got 'em all from Lowes (Home Depot had a crappy selection, their bolts and nuts didn't even have the same threads!).

Everything went on easily, just removing the bolts from the original mufflers was a pain in the butt.

spray some WD-40 and let it soak first, then find a long pipe and use that for extra torque. I did that and it came right off.

Thanks, I already got the exhaust installed yesterday... One of my friends had a nice long socket wrench and we used that to get it out. That was after my other friend stripped the bolt a bit. Was worried we'd have to get the bolt hacksawed off or heated, but it ended up coming off. The pipe is a good idea though. I'll have to remember that for the next time I need to do any difficult bolts.
