Question Race Pipe welp!!!

Hey Guys! I need some help.
I have a Racing Beat race Pipe and a OBX Exhaust.
I have to swap it out to pass smog. My Friend is going to show me how its done. No big deal just then dam bolts are a pita!
If we stip them what size will I need to replace them with?
I want to buy them at Homedepot before we strip them lol What size do I need?
Thanks!
-Gil

Damn, I seez what you did here.

I won't strip them this time unless they are as crappy as the oem bolts lol. In that case I will break them all! But we can get replacment bolt because we won't be doing it at 4 am. like last time and Home Depot will be open.

yea i had to cut off one of my OE bolts when putting in my RP supercat. 14mm bolt is what you want. Oh and anti-sieze grease. That way the bolts won't fight you as much when you swap the MP out for emissions.
