Hello everyone I was about to start my oil change but before I did I just wanted to take a look under my car while I had it up and I notice that I was missing a bolt on my downpipe mount?! It's a spm downpipe should be the same size on anyone.

Thanks

Thank you and would you know the thread count? Or will a standard 13 bolt will work

I'm fairly sure it's an 8 x 1.25.

If you're ever questioning it and don't have a pitch gauge, take the other bolt out and go to a hardware store and match it up.

This video is what I am thinking about. Around the 8:30ish mark should be what I think you were talking about.

Can't you take the one on the other side to measure and check?

I can confirm you can remove the other without everything falling

I just took mine off. It was either 16mm or 13mm head.

Definitely is only $1.12 at dealer. I had to buy one.

Thanks everyone for the quick response this is the sized I have a bunch of bolts laying around in the garge and a 8x1.25 fit perfect i didn't want to drive around with the other one taking out I feel like that would put a lot of pressure on the flex part.
