I've tried 1/4 and 5/16 so I'm guessing it's 9/32 but that's a really odd-ball size... can anyone confirm this for me?

The threads are more screw type than bolt type. This is straight from the GM parts listing.

Just to follow up I just had to buy 4 of these after I misplaced mine after pulling the catback off for a couple of months. Here is the basic breakdown on what size hex screws you can get at any local hardware store if you don't want to go to the stealership and get them or have to wait for some to come in. Here are the specs...

GM Factory Hex Screw Dimensions: SCREW HEX M8X2.12X30
Standard Hex Screw Dimensions: 5/16x1 and you will need a 1/4 washer as well.

All 4 of these with washers only cost me $1.03 and I didn't have to wait 4 days for factory bolts to come in and they went straight in and hold very tight. Just trying to help out some guys who may come across this in the future.
