Have you checked your local parts stores or Muffler Shops since you only need 2 bolts...I don't think the 3.1L will line up.

So you broke the 2 bolts at the Cat and Resonator?

Go to any hardware store and get M10x1.50 bolts

I think the exhaust manifold bolts are the same size, although I'm not 100%

No, the rear manifolds off of a 3100 will not be the same as that.

Just drill and tap those bolts out, it's not hard.
