Exhaust bolts
I'm putting in a new catback in a few days, and I wanted to know if anyone knew the specs for the bolts that connect the catalytic converter to the exhaust pipe? They are completely rusted and I have a feeling they are going to break when I take them off.

Use stainless if you ever plan on doing this again. if you are really cheap you can just use the nearest SAE size since stainless metric bolts are like 3 bucks a pop. Strength really isn't an issue since 3 10mm bolts could probably supprt the weight of your entire car. And yeah according to www.acuraautomotiveparts.org those are all 10mm bolts, so the nearest SAE size is 3/8" which is only 0.5mm smaller.
