what size bolts?

ok I bought a used RB road race header & custom dual mid pipes which I plan on connecting to a 82' dual 2 to 1 style muffler in rear. What size bolts do I need for the header flange to mid pipe and mid pipe to muffler flange? I'd like to know so I can be ready with the proper hardeware when the header/mid pipe arrives so I can do the install myself. Thanx

I'm gonna say M10. Use a high grade, or stainless steel bolt so they dont get messed up. Your going to need atleast 12. I think the header used 8 or 6 to connect, so get extra.

Why don't you take your header into the hardware store with you so you can find out exactly the thread size and length you need? I do it all the time... I took my rear SA bumper in with me once.. people really gave me looks LOL.
