Got the bike out in between some snowy days here recently and my exhaust got really loud all of a sudden.

The exhaust nuts that hold the pipe to the head apparently fell off while riding. Lost both of them so I have no idea what size to get. Anyone know which type to get and should I loctite the new ones on?

Can't seem to find the info anywhere in the repair manual.

Thanks,
-Evan

I believe they are 5/16 UNC

Are they a standard nut, or do they have a circular base? Should I get locking washers, would that help keep them in place?

Circular base, and believe they had the locking teeth on them
