It connects the headers and cat. converter....do they have a shorter version of it? I installed the dc sports headers for my car...it aligns up and everything..and i can push the cat toward the headers to fit snugly...but the stock whatever part that is ..is too long...so i need shorter one? and also shorter spring thingies that compress between them...haha sorry for my newbie slang....also...I could only bolt 7 out of 9 bolts on top of the headers..the 7 bolts are tight..is it still ok? ..thanks

 

there exhaust bolts. They have the spring so they dont rattle loose. Just use regular bolts.

no, they have springs rather than the exhaust using a flexpipe

 

the springs are there so it can flex

 

is it ok if i have 7 out of 9 bolts on top of the headers on?

 

no don't use regular bolts you will prolly destroy your exhaust, It's designed to move around since hondas don't have flex sections in their header.

 

Generally they're called "spring bolts" and allow the exhaust to flex a little instead of using a flex pipe.

im pretty sure theres 9 for a reason get the other 2 on there or expect some exhaust leaks.

 

I had to get a couple of springs and do that myselfy **** buying those at honda

 

spring bolt go to like napa and ask for a exhaust spring bolt kit

 

how much do they usually run?

 

not much.. but you better take your old one with you.. they have a ton of differant sizes

 

i got a question, is it ok to tighten up the exhaust bolt too tight?
some how when ever i am at the 1st gear my exhaust rattle like a ****!!

oh yeah,,, i spent $60 on two sets of bolts and springs at HONDA dealer, so just get at NAPA is cheaper.

Probally your cat heatsheild.

 

just go to a muffler shop they should have some there.

 

http://www.slhonda.com

go to parts.. click on yes.. and the rest is self explanatory


click on the number and it will tell the name and part number..

 

i took my car to the muffler shop and they said it is not the heat shield, and they could don't find where the problem is.....the rattling sound is killing me....it is getting worse and worse

 

could be the heat shield on the header. that was the problem on my car

 

I just had the exhaust shop add in a piece of flex pipe when they did my exhaust but if you are not redoing your exhaust get the bolts again. And yes you need all 9 of the exhaust bolts/studs I am assuming you mean the ones that hold your exhaust mani to your head. They are cheap bolts/studs and it will keep exhaust from leaking.

 

do any of u guys know what size the [spring, flexible joint] and the [Bolt A, Flexible joint] are for stock? ...heh I finally know the technical names now

 

We carry them here at NAPA(exhaust spring kits)
