I'm going to take a wild guess and say that these are the exhaust manifold screws.



They're the longest thing they have listed on the parts page.

Hey do you know if that exhaust system will work with the volcano STX? I looked at it and it seems that it would work, but Im wondering if the header will rub against the rt rear tire. Thanks for your help!

I have that one (Tsais E1018H) on my Volcano SV, and it works just fine, all you will have to do is re-bend the wire that holds the front of the pipe in place and you'll be good to go. I got mine on eBay for $57.40 with shipping.

might be...but I was pretty sure that they were the 2.5's...but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong...but the small ones on the pull start are 2's and the ones that hold that backing plate are 2.5's...thought the one's that hold the engine to the blocks were 3's and the ones from underneath were 2.5....

I thought they were 3*10? Just buy 4 of each and return whatever you don't use.

You can use 3* 10. The engine mount holes are deep enough. Just take it easy on the blue locktite.
