    What am I missing here? The bolt with the spring is as tight as it can go into the header, it won't go down any further than that and there si about a 1/2 inch gap between the header and the pipe. Am I somehow missing a part? Stock header going into a stock downpipe.

    All parts are Toyota OEM ordered from the parts department.

    did I fuck up the screw placement?

    do the screws go on the underside? or in the middle? middle makes more sense....

    same bolt bra, they are straight out of the 1998 toyota corolla VE parts catalog. I work at a toyota dealership....trust me the are OEM...straight from Japan part no- 90080-10291 and 90501-35024

    trust me, i've bought 3 different bolts from 3 different manufacturers.

    BTW...the springs go on the bottom side -_-. Now I have to find some heatwrap.

    I think you have the springs on wrong. cause its suppose to force the down pipe to the header and allow flex

    Is that design a substitute for a flex pipe? What is that silver gasket made out of?
