I've actually heard to either buy stock gaskets or reuse them, but I don't know about bolts.. mine seem to be in decent shape as they are now

Why shouldn't I weld? The guy I'm buying it from said he has it welded... But in all honesty, It's so tight that tacks are probably easier. I unhooked all the clamps on my catback to adjust it when it was vibrating, and it was a pain to move everything when it wasn't hooked up, so I'm not too worried about it moving after seeing how tight it fits in there
