instead of using the bolt with the spring and what not on it. i just used bolt and five washer then a lock washer the the nut to connect the header to the cat. Is this a good idea by not using the springs

I'd get a spring bolt set from honda, it allows flex in the system. So the catback and header dont get strained from being a solid piece when the car flexes.
