Missing Bolt after DP install

ryantpayton · 07-15-2016, 02:18 PM

Hey everyone,

I just installed a 4" ER Catless DP. After installation I found a remaining bolt.

I was wondering if anyone knows where it might go or if I just found a random bolt and I'm crazy lol 😁

Thanks everyone!

this bolt is most likely from the stock downpipe(cat), there are two prongs for supporting/mounting the downpipe itself to the chassis. the upper one is full nut and screw that u either resued or replaced with the one that comes with the new downpipe but the bottom one forces u to use/get a new nut and bolt(included with dp), where this bolt that u have leftover has a nut welded onto the stock cat, so ur not gonna have an extra nut, jus tthis bolt left over. no worries, u didnt miss anything

Thanks a lot! I will set it aside if I ever want to revert back to OEM!

I was just going to say it's the standard DIY spare parts. Every project has spare parts... right?
