97 gti exhaust stud/bolt size pitch?

[Legacy37]

On the water yesterday ine of my skis starting taking on water bad. All of the exhaust bolts had sheared. I read here that the bushings are likely bad......If anyone knows the size pitch of the bolts it would help me get it out of the water. I am guessing m12

thanks

Found out how much water the bilge can hold and not sink....impressive!

Use a new gasket. Be sure to use Blue Loctite on the bolts and tighten to proper torque per specs.
