Hi, Yesterday my XC90 V8 sounded like a Ferrari which is nice, but thought id better have a look. All the nuts and bolts connecting the pipes to the catalytic converter are rusted and just about holding together. has anyone any idea what bolts i need to replace them with

Hard to be sure from the pics but those look like studs rather than bolts. Theyll need drilling out, possible a new gasket or sealing ring, and new bolts. Probably M8, but measure to be sure.

I think you could spot on, I just assumed the heads of the bolts rusted away
