Default Muffler Hanger Nuts

Stock mufflers were off my car when I bought it

My buddy gave me 2 insulators but cant find the 4 nuts that hold them up

Anyone know the size/pitch or where I can order OEM ones?


My bucket of bolts is lacking on amount of nuts..

You could always try the used parts vendors here on the forum - VetteNuts, Northern Corvette, etc.

Not sure if I'm confused on what you're asking but I think you're talking about the muffler hangers on the very back that install from the top and inside the rear bumper and then the mufflers bolt to those. If those are the ones then after you get the isolators installed inside the bumper and before you bolt the mufflers on, you'll want to use 4 of these push on nuts to keep them from going back up into the bumper if you ever take them off again. Trust me, you'll be glad you did later.

The #18 response wasnt what i needed but seriously thank you so much for going so far out of your way to give me an indepth answer.

I was referring to the 2 nuts that hold up the insulators/hanger mounts at the very back of the car (looks like #20 was right)

Thank you fellas

Yall are awesome. called my local dealer and told him to pull the 98-02 exhaust diagram and see if #20 was the nuts I needed.

Simple as that, Im on my way to pick them up now.
