Hey i was driving yesterday and i noticed my car sounded louder but it sounded raspy like an air sucking...i looked unerneath my car cuz thats where it was comming from so i saw that i had lost the right bolt that connects the header to the cat. and now my cat is like halfwayy off

MY question is where can i get this bolt (obviosly the dealer) but can i get it somewhere quicker n cheaper such as napa or like an autozone

im asking here instead of goin out n looking just to make the process easier and faster as well as because i cant really be driving my car in this condition
thanx

you can go to a hardware store and pick up some bolts, washer and a lock nut. but the only problem is that your cat will rattle. atleast that's what happened to me. so i had to pick the right bolts uo at the dealer.

 

Take the other one off and take it to AutoZone to see if they could find a match. They're not going to have the spring that goes with it, and I doubt theyre going to have an exact match, but they will have something that would work. Id go to the junk yard or to the dealership. Save yourself some time.

 

Goto Autozone, "Help" section that carries the oddball items, likely you'll have to get a exhaust bolt/spring for a Chrysler, but you can make it work.

crushed wahser?

 

nah...its not that..its diff ima geta pic ina sec

 

Whats this?

 

That is an exhaust gasket, it makes sure you have a good seal between the header and the cat. Replace it, that is messed up.

 

can i buy this at an autoparts store or only at the dealer?

 

I went on AutoZone.com and they dont have it yet, but I would call them anyway to be sure.

 

a muffler shop should have that

 

local hardware store, just match it to the one still on there

 

ok so i went and bought it at autozone but it doesnt look the same, but supposibly its the right party...ill post a pic ina min.

spring bolts and exhaust gaskets are avaliable from Honda for cheap.

The gaskets you got go between the top part of the exhaust manifold and the bottom pipe. You need the doughnut gasket that goes between the end of the exhaust manifold and the cat.

 

go to a muffler shop and tell them you need the lead ring for your car

JUNK YARD/ SALVAGE YARD........

that thing you piced was a gasket, yes. i would get that from the muffler shop or dealer, but the bolt with spring i would deff go to the salvage yard. just walk in and bring a 14mm and a 13 (i think) and stick in your pocket and walk out a bolt and spring heavier. GOOD LUCK
