Question Bolt Size

Hey guys,
So i was installing a mid pipe and my bolt were a rusted. I sprayed some treatment and still ended up stripping the damn bolt . I was just wondering if there's a certain size bolt i need that connects the Mid to the exhaust. Im gonna cut the bolts and i just want the new ones first so i can just swap them after the cut. Any help or suggestions would be . Thanks guys.

I am not sure which joint you are referring too, I had problems with the exhaust to mani and rear joint, not the spring one, didn't undo that one.
I replaced mine with Stainless steel, If you still need the size I can post it when i get home. The stock size is a fine pitch, 1.25 mm I think, I replaced with "normal" pitch 1.5 mm. No problems as the SS is high grade, torqued up to spec and no leaks.
( I think it was 8 x 1.25 mm stock, but please let me check.)
EDIT WRONG.....10x 1.25 I purchased 10mm x 1.5mmm 30mm long, just check my order online.

Metric 18-8 Ss Hex Head Cap Screw, M10 Size, 30mm Length, 1.5mm Pitch, Fully Threaded
