Invidia Exhaust Install Question

I just installed an Invidia exhaust on my 2005 MCS. Everything went smoothly but was just wondering about the tabs on the tips. Seems that you can place a bolt here to align the tips, since without it, they don't line up. What are people doing? I used a zip tie for now until I can find an appropriate bolt/nut to go here, just surprised there wasn't anything included. Did I miss something? Thanks.

Richard,
My Invidia exhaust came with a bolt so just get the correct size bolt and you are good to go.

Thanks Nils!

Was that bolt in the bag with the gaskets and bolts/nuts or was it separate? Just curious in case I overlooked it.

Much appreciated.

Mine came with all the bolts needed except the 2 to connect the exhaust to the cat. So I got 2 bolts plus a fresh gasket for that interface. My tips lined up perfectly - the bolt to connect them just further locks it all together.

The bolt came in the bag with the other connecting parts.

Thanks everyone for your help. The local shop I got the exhaust from is going to send me a replacement. Good to know it was something that should have been included.

Mine was missing that bolt, too. (and the instructions!) I bought a short bolt of same size used for the flanges (and downloaded somebody's instructions) and after a month, I love my Invidia!
