Collector bolt size?

Anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the exhaust manifold to the y-pipe collector?

M10x1.5 You'll need a new gasket if you take it apart because it sticks fast.

There is no gasket there (machine fit). I used 3/8 coarse 3" stainless bolts when I put my headers on.
But the studs in the manifolds are 10X1.5. as are the three studs that attach the y-pipe to the main pipe just in front of the cat, there is a 3-bolt gasket there.

Had a brain fart, thanks for pointing it out chissler. The 3 bolt flange where the cat pipe and the y-pipe connect have the gasket. The 2-bolt ball and socket connector on the manifolds has no gasket however you can use a thin film of Ultra Copper RTV on it to help prevent leaks. Both the 3 bolt flange studs and the studs at the ball/socket are M10x1.5.
