Did you receive the muffler already?

Mine came with the bolts...

Two bolts (10mm if I remember correctly) Go to your local hardware store and pick up stainless steel bolts and nuts. Use a lock washer on each bolt.

Thanks alot man. I wonder if an Auto Zone would have the bolts and locking washer? If not, there is a Lowes around the corner.

Go Lowes. I find a small general hardware store like "Ace Hardware" is cheaper for stainless bolts. Lowes tends to carry general sizes mostly in zinc plated. (Which will work too, but stainless is better if you ever plan to remove it.)

Thanks for your help. It's much appreciated. I will report back when I install the muffler on Fri. I'm crossing my fingers that I can get the muffler off. My car has 30K miles.

One more question. Did you remove 2 bolts or 6? Thanks.

I used my power tools and the two bolts came right off in seconds. :wink:

GL w/ the install for those that just purchased the TRD exhaust recently.
