any auto part store will have what you need. i got away with using 3/8 bolts and nuts, but id pick up some washers too. i think the stock midpipe bolts are 1/2 inch or so, but the 3/8 worked fine like i said. the gasket should be with the exhaust stuff, if not then someone at the counter will know where it is.

oh i just reread what you said, i think you meant that you have the bolts. so nevermind the first part. but the gasket will be at any napa, and the reducer shouldnt be needed. what are you running for a catback?

the only gasket used on the midpipe is on the passenger side and its metal so just reuse the stock one... i did with mine and it was no problem what so ever....the driver side doesnt have a gasket cuz its kind flanged you will see when you remove it...so to make what im sayin clear... if you have the bolts you dont need to buy anything else...

I'm very new to owning a mustang so i have a really noob question...what is a mid pipe...is that between the cat and the muffler... if so, what makes it any different then whats on there...sound, backpressure...what? I just put on 40 Series Flows yesterday and the bitch sounds awesome and great pickup.

midpipe is between the headers and the catback...it includes the cats. you can get an aftermarket midpipe with high flow cats or an aftermarket offroad midpipe which takes away the cats. replacing the midpipe would make your car louder and give you maybe around 5ish hp to the wheels. hope this helped.
