Default Rear tow hook
Does anybody know the length of the exhaust 13mm bolts on the exhaust bracket. I am putting a rear tow hook on and seems that I will need a longer bolt then is on the C6 Z06. So before I start the job I want to have the proper size and grade 13 mm bolts.

Any body know??

You should post this in the C6 Z06 forum .....

If you are installing a Bray Krause hook ... just follow their instructions ... they make excellent products ....

You need longer bolts. I tried to put my rear tow hook on with stock bolts and they were too short.

I think the bolts were at least 15 mm - I used 20 mm to make sure they fit.

Looks like the Phoenix Performance in PA. Thats what I have. My exhaust doesnt use the factory exhaust brackets so they work just fine for me.
