I have 2 choices for these bolts.The gold colored ones dont seem proper for some reason?

Both say they are for 2007 hatchback.

Neither of those look like the ones I used on my 07 hatch... BUT walker is a trusted brand imo

Another thing I notice is no nuts.I suppose one of the flanges are threaded?

either one is likely fine. its just the companies way of getting to the same end result.

the flange on the manifold IS THREADED so there is no need for a bolt for the backside...(front side?)

Alright thanks.I will probaly go with the black ones as I dont see how the gold ones would fit through holes in manifold and pipe with those round things on top of threads.

iirc the holes in the midpipe are bigger than the holes at the manifold.

These round things is what I am referring to.Are they small enough to go through openings,or are they just movable washers?

The top ones are made better (like an OEM part), the bottom ones are just a bolt, spacer, washer, and spring. It does the same thing but with added components to hold the spring and limit over tightening it.

So that thing I pointed out is a limiter.

Good to know thanks.
