A slightly different header install question

I purchased a set of Mac's and ORY off a board member here. Only thing is it wasn't shipped with all of the bolts to put the Y pipe together. From the 2 that are in my package here it looks like regular all thread that threads into one of the flanges and a nut that runs up and completes the connection.

My question is, can I just use some regular all thread and throw a nut on it, do I need stainless, if I cannot use allthread then can I just toss a stainless bolt on it?

Any information would be greatly appreciated; I'd like to do this install over the weekend.

Alright, sounds good to me. Just need to get underneath and see if I need to come up with a 3" to 2.5" reducer or not and I'll be in buisness!

Pick your type of metal, but I would use regular studs , instead of all thread. My opinion.
