Can someone please Help me Locate these bolts? I have been searching with mixed results and am not having very good luck. 1998 2.5l.
I ordered a Dorman Exhast Manifold (fingers crossed) and it says it comes with the 3 mounting bolts. However, I would like to replace All the hardware for the intake as well. I think I found the 4 conical washers for the shared bolts. But my bolts and studs look like crap and would just like to put all new (again fingers crossed). I even check ARP with no luck. I ordered Fel-Pro gaskets and O-Rings for the injectors, new bolts for the manifold to pipe connection and donut.
Thank you all.
 
Why? They are heat cycled and lose their hardness, that is why most old exhaust system bolts are butter soft when they break. If you want grade 8, go for it either will work for an exhaust system. Good luck. Tim

Search for your hardware and have it usps mailed for cheap but you may have to buy quantities of 5 or 10 but You can always use the extras later.

Pay for the grade 8. It's the coating that's worth the money. Grade 5 will corrode in less than a month. And try for either stainless or grade 8 nuts. And lots of copper antiseize.
 
Good grade 5 and grade 8 will both be yellow zinc, and I avoid stainless hardware because it galls too easily...
