VX manifold stud size

[jimincov]

Hi everyone - does anyone know what the size of the stud is that connects the downpipe to the manifold on a VX?
I understand that its an M9 thread into the downpipe but is it also 9 into the manifold?

thanks in advance for any info on this - i should have taken one off the car at the weekend & im a week away from returning to it..

I would like to go back armed with replacement stud after exhaust fitters sloppy work...

cheers

James.

M8 is more likely James.
They had a 13mm hex, which also suggests that.
I changed a few in my early years, that's what I recall.
