Anyone know off hand what thread size and pitch these are? My local dealer has a habit of stuffing it in people's asses for parts, so if i could find some studs/nuts at the local supply house, i know it'll be much easier. I'm assuming they aren't the typical 3/8" header bolts like everything else on the planet, right?

You wont want to use hardware bolts for this. The GM stuff is high quality, high grade that won't break with the heat. Also the nuts are triangular in shape so they lock down real tight and dont come lose. Even at full retail I think I paid $43 for the nuts and bolts but that's not bad considering ARP's set is $100

Well, to answer my own question, they're 8mm x 30mm. The bolts that came with my LPPs were 5mm too long (and only 4.8 grade) I went to my hardware store and got a set of nice 10.4 grade bolts to use, since they didnt have any studs, but they ended up being too long. I bought the new ones based on the bolts that came with the headers, rather than the stock ones, and come to find out the stock ones are 30mm and the ones i had were 35mm and bottomed out before they tightened down. Ended up re-using the stock bolts. But i thought i'd throw out what the actual size was in case anyone used the search button to try to find out like I did.

Yep, that's how mine looked too. No problems though. You can kind of see it here.
