Those long strange flange bolts with the springs, right? I just sawed them off & got new ones.

Actually, I got normal bolts, fender washers, & double-nutted them to the header (A-pipe) flange. But I got them in stainless, & used anti-seize, so I can get them off later.

The nasty ones are at the BACK of the cat, where it attaches to the B-pipe. When those rounded/broke, it was a $&%$ to get them out, because they're pressed into the flange. But then I got hardware-store stainless bolts & nuts...
