Default 5 bolt downpipe with only 4 bolts

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.
