Default Q to those with test pipes

Did u guys use the stock spring bolts, or did u have to buy longer bolts to put it on? Is it ok to replace the spring bolts with regular ones?

The factory used spring bolts, shouldn't you?
There needs to be flexing action, as the motor moves.

My test pipe came with longer bolts so I used those. They just fit better than the stock ones.

The problem is that the stock spring bolts don't fit. Did u use longer spring bolts or regular bolts?

I'm using regular bolts, but you can hear the exhaust fighting for space under some very low speed take-offs.
