Hi,

Does anyone know what size nut I need for my exhaust system? I have a stock midpipe and have lost the nuts so my exhaust is just dumping out of the midpipe.

M12x1.5. I always like to replace those and make sure you chase the stud threads with a die. They are notorious for getting damaged when the exhaust is removed.

Just to add some pennies:
If you're going to be working on anything mechanical, be it a car, motorcycle, lawn-mowers, machines... etc. I'd invest in this simple tool you can hang up anywhere.

Awesome! Definitely going to be ordering this. This would have come in handy so many times for me already.

Probably pick up a thread pitch gauge much cheaper with a far greater range of metric, imperial, np and bsp threads catered for than that thing. I'd assume anyone who works on a car should have basic vernier calipers - or should be shot - a ruler is even sufficient knowing most of the metric stuff common to this car comes in 2mm steps.

The exhaust bolts are probably rusted bits of crap, but a thread file can get you out of trouble too for something that basic.
