Installing Midpipe

Installing Midpipe
Hi guys,
I have a used RP midpipe coming with no gaskets or bolts. I also have a Mazdaspeed Cat back exhaust on its way. What extra bits do I need to make it all fit? I am aware I need a dounut gasket which I will source from my local Mazda dealer but what about bolts? Does the MS exhaust come with bolts to bolt onto the midpipe and a gasket for that end? Can I re-use the old bolts connecting the midpipe to the downpipe/manifold?
Thanks,
Waz

Tip....
A little tip to make the job much easier - the header/midpipe nuts only undo from the front, the bolt is splined into the cat midpipe piece, you will be there all day!!
You also have to take BOTH the cross-brace pieces off to get the cat out, no way around it.

WTF are you talking about Stealth
The RP pipe doesn't have splined studs, it uses regular bolts. I already told you the size; 10mm diameter x 30mm long with nuts and lockwashers, they should be stainless steel, you will need to buy them at someplace that sells fasteners like a hardware store or something, I don't know what the equivalent is over there
I don't think they have Home Depot in Scotland guys ...

Thanks for the nice WTF post, but he has a midpipe "coming", which would imply he has a stock setup, at present.
With splined bolts in the stock cat.
He also wanted to know "can I reuse the bolts to the manifold?", so the answer would be; "not if the originals are stuck in the catpipe", right?
....and the tip about not trying to undo the splined bolts? .....also still applies.
So Mr. TeamRX, bite me.
