I almost had a $1 solution working that consisted of a bolt, a nut, and a washer, but I decided to go with OEM rather than spending more time half-assing it.
Yea, they're the stock spring loaded ones. I have plenty of springs (from 2 other exhaust swaps). But like I said, the new exhaust wll be here in 2 days so it's not worth bothering to get them out....
