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.
I was thining both of thos opitions but the studd just clears the bottom of the pipe and no room for bolt or stud head thats the problem.
and second is rvt and torque down

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.
