Apparently, the bolts that hold my cat back system to the cat have gone missing, resulting in a sound that could kill small birds at WOT. I like it, I do. But, I need to get some of those bolts to put it back on.

We tried getting a video of this, but the camera we had wouldn't take sound. When the turbo spools down, my car whistles. It's most exciting.

Should I go to mazda, or a muffler shop to get the missing bolts? And is it a simple, screw it in type procedure, or is there more involved.

It's a jackson racing catback system.

thanks in advance.

It's just a bolt, a lock washer, and a nut. Any hardware store or muffler shop can help you out. I used stainless steel hardware on my exhaust system and coated the threads with anti-seize. Don't forget to order a new gasket since yours probably fell out when you lost all your bolts.

Lots of muffler shops like to tack weld the nuts in place. It helps ensure the nuts don't back off but it makes it more difficult to remove the exhaust system later.
