My flexible connector on my OEM y-pipe is starting to rust and I will be replacing it with a Budget Y-Pipe. So that I am prepared for the change, I wanted to purchase the necessary mounting hardware as I suspect that the existing bolts/nuts/studs may be rusted or in generally poor shape. I have not been able to find any threads or advertisements for the mounting hardware; only the special brackets and such. Does anyone know the correct size and type of the mounting bolts for the y-pipe? I'd also be curious to know the size of the rest of the mounting hardware all the way back to the rear section. My thought is to either have a shop remove the old bolts and replace with the new so that when the OEM y-pipe fails, replacing it with a Budget "should" go somewhat easier or at least be able to replace the bolts one at a time as I have time.

Thanks,
Jeff
