Default 4 of 5 bolts on downpipe?

I posted earlier about if the angle on my downpipe was too steep. My question now is what if i can only get 4 bolts on the downpipe because the angle prevents my 5th one from going on? I assume it will leak?

Yup. it sure will. I actually threaded in a stud and then put a nut on. Seems to work pretty well.

I had this issue, we took a stud and shortened it a little bit, stuck it through the DP flange and threaded a mechanical lock nut on the back side of it between the flange and the pipe (effectively making a "bolt") then spun it into the turbine flange.... its working so far.
