Exhaust Header Install

I recently picked up a megan exhaust header but it didn't come with the mounting hardware. Does anyone know what size nuts/bolts I will need for connecting to the engine? Can the stock ones be used?

Stock hardware is fine to use. Make sure the shoulders of the bolts sit flat against the header flange and not against part of a weld. If is does grind down the weld a bit. 18 ft-lbs.

You'll have to modify heat shielding a bit to clear the runners and O2 sensors.
