So what kind of bolts should I get for the exhuast system? Do I need hardened bolts or what? 2 of the 3 bolts that hook the manifold to the turbo snapped off when I was taking off the manifold. I borred out the hole but I can't get it all the way so I need a smaller size bolt, and nut for the other end. I'm temporarily using regular nuts and bolts, but I doubt they won't melt after a while. I need something stronger. I've looked around for other bolts, but no one around here has anthing I need. I'll probably need to order something online, so if anyone knows of where to buy that stuff that would be great.

Just grade 8 bolts should be fine. You don't need any kind of "special" bolts for exhaust systems. What you WILL need to do is install the bolts, take the car out for a good half hour to an hour and drive relatively hard and then re-tighten them to insure a good solid seal with them Good luck!

What exactly does grade 8 mean? Right now I'm just using bolts from the local hardware store that probably aren't ment to take high temperatures, so I'm not sure how long they will hold.

Just call them right up and ask them what grade bolts they sell b/c most hardware stores do offer 8's. They are quite strong Good luck!
