We had the same problem. I found a bolt with the same thread and took that to match it up.

I would personally go to OSH. They have a much better selection of bolts.

When my buddy Joe (Sac5.0) installed my bassani X-pipe a bolt was missing on the passenger side although it had a perfect seal.

We found one at Home Depot and it worked just fine.

OSH sells automotive head treated studs, I brought a header in with me and tried a few, I believe the 7/16" studs are the ones that fit. I got new grade 8 nuts to go with them and they have worked great, been on and off the car a handful of times and not one has stripped or been mangled.

I always use anti-seize on every nut and bolt in the exhaust. It helps when you put anything together or pull it apart. I also use it on lug nuts and spark plugs.
