Exhaust bracket question

Hey guys I'm currently in the middle of installing my Tanabe exhaust and I was only given one donut flange to put in between the two pieces of the actual exhaust. So I was just wondering, am I also suppose to have one between my midpipe and axleback section as well? Thanks in advance for your help!

Edit: Oops I meant to type "flange" in my title instead of "bracket"

I guess you use the OEM (org.) one for the midpipe and axleback. I remember that I only got one for the Tanabe exhaust b4 too.

Thanks! And one more question might sound dumb but my spring loaded bolts won't come off. I was able to get both loose but however much I twist it won't come off. Am I doing something wrong?

you have to keep losing it... it does take a while to get it completely loose.

Does anyone know the part number for the spring loaded bolts and where I might be able to buy a new pair other than the dealership? Apparently they won't come off because the thread is stripped (on BOTH bolts!) and my only option is to cut the bolt
