Exhaust Heat Shield Bolt Size

I heard a rattling today so popped the hood and noticed that my heat shield had come unbolted and fell down on the header/DP. Anyone know what size the bolts that hold it on are? I can't get me big head back there to see.

You can see if the Realoem.com lists the bolts that you need. Sometimes the on line catalog will provide the bolt dimensions but not always for every fastener. Use (search with) the last 7 characters of your VIN to get to the correct page.

I'd put a small dab of anti-sieze compound on the threads before I put them in.
