ETKA lookup request (exhaust)

[Todd Young]

There should be 8mm studs in the exhaust manifold, with appropriate nuts
holding the cat pipe on.

The bolts that hold the cat to the rear exhaust don't really matter, I
used stainless steel.

I also ran a die over the exhaust manifold studs to clean out the
threads, and then put anti seize on them.

Once mistake I made was to now put anything between the exhaust manifold
and the new cat, now I have a minor exhaust leak until it heats up. Buy
some high temp silicon and put some in there. There is no factory gasket
specified in the "family album".
