The stock bolts work awesome, you could pick up a set of OEM's from a stealership if you can find one open.

Dab on a little anti-sieze before you install them, and ONLY use OEM MLS exhaust manifold gaskets.

8mm stud, 1.25 thread pitch, ~1" or ~25mm under head length, or slightly shorter should do the trick. I depends a little on the manifold's flange thickness.

If you get them from Lowe's make sure they are of a good enough grade or they may snap from pressure and heat.

...Honestly, I'd wait and get a set from the stealership (~68 cents per bolt), or order some Breslin or Stage8 locking fasteners online.

If it's on the car originally, you can get it from the General.
