Hey man, I had a talk w/ Sam over at AJR yesterday, and he mentioned that he would recommend using the springbolts and some 12mm nuts. I would agree with him, since I do think that it's a fair amount of stress on a very long solid pipe from the catpipe inlet on through to the muffler. I believe most flanges connected w/ a donut gasket should use springbolts to allow for the flex/rotation around it. Anyway, I'm gonna swap them out just as soon as I get some nuts for the springbolts, but just thought I'd pass along the info!
