Need some help please...D1 1996, in the process of installing a new exhaust (behind the cats) and of course the bolts broke off on the piece that joins the cats and exhaust. Tried to drill new holes but all my bits have broken off in the process. Is there any place to buy a similar piece so I can connect the cats with the exhaust?? Called the dealer but they said there is no replacement.
Any way to fix this? Thanks for your help!

are you connecting behind the cats? Should be a clamp style connector, two bolts two nuts, tighten evenly and that should clamp the two pipes together... shit, I'll go take a pic.

Thanks.....had to go to Midas to torch out the studs. I broke off the studs so couldn't connect the two parts and had no way of blasting out the old rusted bolts/studs. Back on track now....
Thanks for the pics.
