Exhaust Flange bolt and nut

I was looking under my truck and noticed the 2 nuts from my exhaust flange bolts were gone. The bolts and spring are still there.. I recently changed my exhaust system to the URD 3" cat-back, URD Y-pipe, and magnaflow muffler about 2 months ago. Must have come loose sometime and just fell off. Could I just find any nut to put on the bolt? Or should I go to the dealer and buy new ones. Anything special about them?

Any help would be appreciated.

Uh what? There are no nuts. The bolts thread into the URD Y flange

Same goes for stock Y's

If it was loose you would know, it would be rattling like crazy down there

If you do need a nut, I think you need something like grade 8 nuts so it won't rust up on you. Plus the exhaust gets hot and mix that with rust...it will probably weld itself together.

oops

Thanks. I'm an idiot. For some reason, I thought there were nuts at the end of the bolts. I'm glad you clarified...
