Looks like you are indeed missing a bolt. Did the exhaust gas actually melt some of your car's undercoating? Or am I seeing things?

Just go to Lowe's/Home Depot and get a nut and bolt unless you've got a good shop that won't charge you for a 3 minute job.

I had the same thing happen to me, one of the bolts came loose and fell off. You have to torque them down hard!

Didn't know that. I'd be really pissed. Ask them if they have their grandmothers torque down the flange bolts.

I wish my exhaust had a missing bolt. I have Berk HFC's and CBE and it's got some rasp in the mid-range at 60%+ throttle.
