Gregg -
While other posts debate the good and bad of stainless hardware (of
which I am in the camp of good ole original 1 time use and not
stainless), no one has really fully answered your size question
adequately. I offer the following, complete with VW numbers:
Collector to Header Pipe
N01024416 8x30 (13mm Hex) Bolt Qty 4
Collector to Collector Pipe Going to Cat
N01036112 8x65 (13mm Hex) Bolt Qty 3
N90095501 8x15 Flat Washer Qty 3
Note: Place these on the "nut" side
Note: I have used N01152520 8x16 Flat Washer
025251200 8mm Concave Washer Qty 3
Note: Place these on the "nut" side
Note: I have used N0122282 8x17 "Wavy Washers"
311101463 8mm (13mm Hex) Locking Hex Nut Qty 3
Collector Pipe to Cat Converter
N01034510 8x45 (13mm Hex) Bolt Qty 3
311101463 8mm (13mm Hex) Locking Hex Nut Qty 3
Cat Converter to Muffler
N01024416 8x30 (13mm Hex) Bolt Qty 3
N01152520 8x17 Flat Washer Qty 3
Note: Place these on the "nut" side
311101463 8mm (13mm Hex) Locking Hex Nut Qty 3
All above fits 86-91
Exhaust Hardware Class 101 dismissed :)
