seems like they were M8 1.25 30mm. I converted to allen head bolts though, and had to use a few washers to get a snug fit.Casey

I have thought a bout changing to allen capscrews but I am not sure about how delicate the threads in the head are. So I decided to stay with the studs.
Whenever I remove the exhaust I make sure to put some anti-sieze compound on the threads before I install the nuts again. Seems to keep the high heat from affecting the nuts when it comes time toremove them again.Mike Giroir

Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.Comment
