Default 5 bolt downpipe with only 4 bolts

i got a d/p off ebaysssss and its a 5 bolt , the d/p only holds 4 out of 5 the bottom bolt, the head hits the inside of the pipe and i dont know what to do, do you think its ok with only 4 out of 5 and the very bottom missing or will it leak?/
thanks all

Use an exhaust manifold stud and nut in that spot instead of a bolt. That's what I had to do with my 5 bolt down pipe.

get a stud, it doesn't have to be long...just enough to get the nut on it and torque it. i don't see why a stud won't work. pics would help. if the stud u get is too long, go ahead and grind it down some. i wouldn't worry about only running 4 bolts, u should be fine.
