So I bought an evo fusion catback from ericy321 here on rdtib...however it was used, and did not come with the gaskets and bolts. Will it be possibly to use the ones on my stock exhaust, or do I have to get new ones. If I do, do I have to order specific ones, or could I pick them up and any hardware store? Thanks a lot for the help.

exhaust is easy to install yourself. You will more than likely need a new gasket (maybe 2?) - your old ones will be shot.
just go to your local dealer and pick one up - mine was $6. as far as bolts you probably will be able to reuse them - I mangled one nut though - it was to stubborn. I'm sure the dealership will have replacement bolts and nuts as well.
good luck.

No...
this is what you should do:
Bring the pipe into any auto parts store, and they will have the gasket you need. Then, buy all stainless steel nuts and bolts to connect it together (you will have to count how many you need).
It should come to a total of like $10.
I would not use stock bolts because they will be rusty as hell, and will only rust worse. I would also not go to the dealer to buy OEM gaskets because that is a waste of time and money.
Dude, you realize that when you buy anything, the hardware they give you is just that--hardware. Stuff you could get anywhere. Nuts, bolts, screws, gaskets, 99% of that stuff is NOT specialized in any way (obviously there are exceptions).

Autozone, auto value, most decent auto parts store will have em. (If a dealership isn't close)
Its a standard size, but if you could just bring in the pipe to show em exactly what you needed it'd help.
