Cat/Catback Bolts
I'm going to be installing a Tanabe Medallion Touring catback soon, and am wondering the size specs on the 3 bolts/nuts that connect the catalytic converter to the exhaust piping?
I ask because I helped my buddy put an SP2 on his Accord last weekend and while we successfully re-used the stock bolts/nuts, I'd like to put in new hardware on my car if possible. I live literally five minutes from Home Depot so I may as well do it right the first time. I'm also picking up three new exhaust hangers from a local Napa store while I'm at it.
Thanks to anyone who can help, I ran a search and didn't come across what I was looking for.

Thanks JTso. It was your advice I followed to pick up the new Napa hangers. If my exhaust ends up hanging funny I will be looking into the hanger bending mod...

I've got the magic info. 10mm bolts all around the exhaust track, with a 1.25mm thread. I had to source new bolts for my new (not on yet) header and its connections. I bought a bunch of 'test' bolts, and determined that these were the right ones. The ones I got from home depot have a 17mm hex head, so make sure you have the right sockets for that too, since the oem honda bolts have 14mm heads on 10mm bolts.

If you buy stainless bolts they will last longer. I had to do hte same home depot run as over time the stock bolts get pretty beat from the heat. Should cost you about 3 bucks at HD
