Default cat to exhaust problem

yesterday a friend and i installed my greddy evo catback..we used air tools so unscrewing was quick..the thing is..the cat has 3 screws sticking out where it connects to exhaust pipe..unscrewing the bolts..half of the bottom 2 bolts broke off along with the screw..and we were .left with the top one..im now pretty sure there has to be leaking since only 1 of 3 is screwed on tightly..the bottom 2 arent..what can i do? replace the cat?

You can have a muffler shop weld custom flanges onto some Carsound cats (But I think Carsound cats are CARB legal?)

I got a RandomTech Cat that's CARB legal... direct bolt on, and it fit better than stock!

OBX= shit... it's a resonator, not a cat

Arent the bolts studs? You could just go get some bolts to replace them, dont even need the studs.
