Definitely reuse the original springs, but any bolts that are the correct size will work. I'd suggest either stainless or galvanized because of rust issues.

the springs are designed to allow the pipe to flex on the ball socket joint thats why they are there.

def. keep the spring bolts in there, they let your exhaust have some wiggle room while the engines under load.
