Subject:      2.1 exhaust fastener question
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"


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.
