header problems *HELP*

so im driving down the street and i drive on one of those mini water cap metal caps and pop it up into my exhaust system
well i was like **** i hit a glass bottle from the sound so i stop the car and examine....mmm tire aint going flat so i look round no glass peices....

so i turn the car back on and noticed, wow i got a big exhaust leak somewhere...to dark to find out where

so today i jack the car up and get under it and feel along the entire piping system and cant find a leak anywhere but i can hear it majorly!!

so i pop the hood and and looking at the right side headers where the majority of the sound is coming from and notice the bolt that holds the pipe into the headers is gone and is only being held in by the welding of the undercarriage piping,

so im like maybe this is the leak as i exmaine the left side headers and noitced there all the way in place

going back to the right side i stick my hand down, avoiding touching the piping, even though the hot ait coming from was just as hot ouch!

o well i found the leak and was wondering since ima be working on the headers anyhow, if the 3.4 fit or am i just going to need a new bolt for the stock ones i got....

thanks
