Where can I get exhaust manifold bolts from?

Is there anywhere I can get them from? Anyone have any used ones they would want to sell?

I don't think there is anywhere you can't get them......try advance auto, autozone, napa, summitracing, any place that sells bolts....

And I may be wrong, but I believe exhaust manifold bolts have a universal thread size/type regardless of what car they are from or for.

Go to a hardware store... They're an M8 bolt, don't remember the thread pitch. Just have to make sure they're hardened, and make sure to use anti-seize.

Re: Where can I get exhaust manifold bolts from?

Thanks, I figure I should get them ahead of time since the bolts look pretty bad and I already snapped part of one off removing the alternator support. How many bolts are holding the tranny to the engine? I could only see 2 on each side since there isn't a whole lot of light and I know the v8 bell housing has like 3 on each side.

There's 6 bellhousing bolts... No need to do anything with those. Just get a wire wheel on a drill or something and clean them up.

I got new ones from a dealership. I got 6 manifold bolts and 2 y-pipe donuts for about $15 from them. Had to order them but it only took 3 days.

Are the M8s the ones from the y-pipe to the manifold? My passenger decided it didn't want to be connected anymore. Now the y-pipe & manifold are almost an inch away from each other. Isn't there supposed to be a donut gasket? I checked with Autozone (i know, i know...) & they had no listing for one for a 3rd gen.
