Default 98 Accord Catalytic Converter Nuts / Bolts

Does anyone know the grade / size of the bolts that connect the cat to the a pipe and the exhaust? (6 total bolts and nuts). I went to the dealer thinking that they would be inexpensive, but they were $14 / per. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen aftermarket CATs that come with grade 3 hardened bolts.

Just buy some cheapo hardware store bolts. You want something that will break easily if they get rusted together. Thats what we used at the stealership.
