Are those springs bolts that connect the header to the cat important? I lost mine, dont ask how; and was wondering if i can just run regular bolts.

Mike

 

arent the springs there for flexibility? when the engine moves it flexes with the springs?

 

suppose to be, but does the engine honestly move enough to need them. the parts thats hanging in the hangers can move back and fourth if nescarry. anyone got any suggestions?

If you dont have a flex pipe you need those springs. Without them your going to have cracks on your header.

Yes. They can't be terribly expensive from Honda, or you can try to fabricate your own bolt/spring setup. Either way, I would definitely recommend against simply bolting the header to the cat with no springs.

 

you can get bolt with spring from the aftermarket walker muffler list them

 

Go to your local pick and pull.

 

carquest part #578808 (spring bolt kit)

 

Called the dealership. This is what they told me:

Bolts...........8.00
Springs........7.00
Nuts.............4.00

Remember, all these prices are for 1 of each. So in total, i was looking at spending 40 bucks on spring bolt kits!! HOW RETARTED!! Nedless to say, carquest had what i needed.
