You mean like the dimensions? I could go measure, but its kind of a pain to jack up the car to measure. Why don't you just call RRM and have them tell you since it's their header?

Yes, I need the dimensions. And I did call up RRM, and Viczious told me the dimensions were 12mm x 1.25 x 40, but I am 100% sure those bolts are way to big to be 12mm. Thanks for anyone who can answer, I'm not really sure who to believe or what to do.

That was the number I was skeptical about, I am being told 23407234 different things... and Home Depot said they don't even carry that size.

Home depot doesn't carry metric sizes. Get 1/2 inch. It's about the same. You'll obviously need a 1.2" socket or wrench to tighten them though.

Yes they do, they carried a 12mm x 1.25 x 75 - that is metric.

we just used a ratchet set..... if u have a pipe to put over the ratchet it will give u more leverage and the bolts will come off easier. install took about 1hr and some change. big thanks to imajinmyfx by the way
