Ok, the other day I noticed that one of my exhaust tips was resting on the plastic of the rear bumper, while the other one was ok. Well, I was trying to figure out the problem, looking at rubber bushings and spot welds, looking for anything that might be off center... well, turns out the (ok, starting lay-mans terms) the bolt that secures the rod in the length and position you want, the rod that slips into the last bushing behind the bumper, has come out, and that rod is sliding back and forth, causing it to slide out of the bushing and swing back and forth (I spot welded the tip though, so its not coming off). However, I do not want the tip to warp my bumper, so I have to get a new screw, and this time I have to use loctyte or something of that nature. However, I need the dimensions of the screw. I tried to contact magnaflow and have recieved no response. I hope these are something I can get at lowes. ANy idea, thread spacing, length of bolt, size, etc? If anyone would have the dimensions I would greatly appreciate it. Oh, and I need two. I checked the other side and they are both missing. Only one side, however, swings.

No help with dimensions (sorry). Phone, don't e-mail, MagnaFlow.

I use blue Loctite and it is holding everything nicely. You can put a spot weld over the allen screw if you like but that is pretty permanent. FWIW, I cut the rod so that only 1.5" remains towards the front of the car.

Try a 1/4-20 or a 10-32. I didn't crawl under there and look but given there size I would think ne of those would fit.

Make sure you use a high temp locktite and don't be afraid to tighten it.
