Hi my names Aaron so i recently bought this:

Magnaflow New York Catalytic Converter 23909 - Read Reviews on Magnaflow New York #23909

I know the quality and i know how fast they wear, anyways come time to put her on and i realize this is all they gave me (pictures attached of bolts)
So they gave me 3 silver bolts and 1 one nut that will fit only those three on the front end of the CAT. Yeah i had to go buy the other two.
They gave me TWO darker bolts it seems to replace the old "springs/stud assembly" on the bottom REAR of the pipe, i had on my car that i actually had to cut off..

now my question is do i just get another high temp nut and fasten it on the other end of these black bolts that they provided for me? Is that ok..?
Or do i go look for this crazy spring loaded assembly it came with...
(picture attached i found it on forum)
Shes sittin on two jack stands in my apartment complex lot :P

!!!!!!!SOLVED: READ BELOW!!!!!!!!!!

autozone sells these " Exhaust Manifold Bolt and spring kit" (picture included)

for like 8 bucks. I just took the spring out of the kit and used the bolts magnaflow provided me.
This was after i got off the phone with a "Mazda Dealership Parts Pro" guy who literally answered the phone and said he didn't know anything about the rx8.
Autozone guy knew exactly what i was talking about :P

So many views, so little reply's
anyways i called mazda trying to find the specific spring bolt thing that you see in the image above.
OF COURSE i was put on the phone with someone who says...
" I dont know much about anything to with the Rx8"
Alll he did was rush me off the phone -_-

Anyways called autozone, guess those guys are ASE certified, JK lol
He told me they have "Exhaust Manifold Flange/Bolt Kit" (picture included)
I took the spring for the kit and threw it on the bolt that magnaflow had provided me. She fits perfectly and is almost too quiet..

Looks like you got it handled 😎

As long as it keeps the flanges together and it seals the gasket you are good
