Angry ehaust problems

hi just bought a firestorm b.box and wanted to fit it today. to my horror when i got under the car i found the current exhaust (apexi i think) is all one piece from the downpipe!!!
obviousley now i need to buy a centre section aswell, but will any other makes fit the firestorm?
also where can i get the bolts to hold the centre section to the backbox as i dont have any only the ones holding the centre to the downpipe?
thanks ian

you can buy the bolts from any diy store thats what I have done with my exhaust. (get decent washers as well)
I imagine the firestorm is a standard fit, so any standard centre section should do the job.

whats wrong with apexi? make sure it isnt a 3 inch all the way through, because its usually 2.5 inch for the standard aftermarket size, you dont want to change a 3inch for a 2.5 inch do you?

Talking

the apexi has rusted on the pipe badly and there are holes showing in it so i thought i get something else before it drops off nothing wrong with it been on the car since i bought it although i do prefer more of a noise i just didnt realise until today that it was all one piece to the downpipe
