Hi gang, I just replaced the "J" pipe on my '88 GL, the end at the manifold rusted out and it sounded like a tank. In fitting the new pipe, I'm wondering about the stack of 5 washers on each bolt at that end. I omitted them for now until I find out what is best to use. Are these just spring washers or something else? Can I use a spring like others do? The existing ones were pretty gone. Can I leave it without them? Secondly, I am considering a complete new exhaust minus this pipe and a muffler which is 1 year old. Any gotchas? Thanks for any advice.
