Default Catback bolt problem!

Hey guys, last night i installed my greddy evo exhaust, the whole thing took 6 freakin hours... ARG i hate rust so much! One bolt was rusted so badly we had to drill through it and break it, lol.

When we were putting the whole contraption back on my car, we found that where the big straight pipe connects to the cat there are 3 bolts in a triangular formation we could not tighten the top most bolt because none of our tools could fit. However the bottom two bolts we tightened down very hard. Do you guys think we should try and figure out some way to tighten the top bolt or will it be ok with just two?

By the way I love how the whole thing sounds, and it looks absolutely great, fills my body kit very nicely. It's relatively deep, and the quietness of it all amazed me, greddy evo

RUST

unbolt the cat from the header, pull the exhaust down, tighten the top bolt and reattach the cat to the header.

if that exhuast system comes in sections you can unbolt the section connected to the cat, drop the rest of it and tighten that top bolt .
