Rep Power: 0 Exhaust connection problem
I have a 98 civic ex and too make a long story short the bolts connecting my header pipes to the front cat were removed for a job but there was only one put it back on and O2 sensor kicked mpg went down drastically and it was loud due to the seal not being tight so i got some exhaust hardware today came with springs but they wouldnt fit in between the connectors so my question is it just 2 bolts that go here or am i missing something? Very begginer with anything mechanical so this might be a dumb question.

There is like a male to female adapter thats on the inside but as for gasket no im not actually sure what it would look like but i put the bolts that came with springs and it wouldnt fit the pipes wouldnt connect over the springs but now it rattles hard but drives better with just the bolts ive put on

i usually smear a little permatex ultra copper rtv on those joints. you can leak test them by sticking a shop vac on the exhaust tip and puffing around with a cigar (:
