Flex pipe questions

Well I've done quite a bit of searching here but am still left with a few questions re replacing the flex pipe (the one in front of the muffler, not the one in the frontpipe). Car is an '02 linear if it matters.
First: there appears to be a sheetmetal piece obstructing access to the front flange. Does that piece just unbolt? It looks like it does but thought I'd better check first.
Second: according to the diagram on eeuroparts, there are not gaskets at either end of the pipe... does that sound right? Seems a little odd to me.
And hopefully the easiest question: is the hardware m8 or m10? I'm assuming I'm going to be drilling out the studs and replacing with bolts & nuts, would like to have the correct parts on hand. The stuff that's there is so rusted you can't tell what size it is!
Thanks!
