You can do this too. I found 18mm plugs but theyre $30 pair. Cant find the 12mm ones, they usually come with an exhaust system that you do or do not use. If you want the plugs, try FM they may sell you some. I went on amazon and found the correct copper crush rings when I was swapping pipes out. Dealer wants like $4-5 each and they have to order the rings.

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know the bolt size and thread of the two bolts that attach the head pipe bracket to the transmission?

I'm replacing my decatted stock head pipe (for sale, PM me) with a fulsac sport pipe I bought over a year ago and has been sitting in my garage due to laziness. As I was taking the decatted head pipe off, I noticed that the transmission bracket was missing its bolts. So... either they worked their way out over time, or I forgot to put them back in when I put the head pipe on. Either way, I'm missing them. I searched the forum but gave up after about 10 pages of search results.

thanks!

5/16-18 x 1-1/2". Be sure you clean the holes good and chase the threads, and use blue locktite on the new bolts.
