Need a little help.

While changing out exhaust pipes, I seem to have stripped one of the 12 exhaust studs on the right rear. Are these studs hard to get out and is #17 on the microfiche what I need to order?

Is there any of the stud sticking out? If so, spray some penetrating oil on it, wait a little while the use vice grips to get it out.
Once you get it out, ACE hardware has a great selection of that stuff, chances are you can get it there.

I would suggest sticking with stock Honda studs since they are engineered to save the threads in the heads and they are just as cheap as a generic replacement. Always install studs with an anti-seize to avoid locking-up in the aluminum heads.

You can not buy these studs in a hardware store.

They are 2 different sizes.  the end that goes in the head is larger than the end that goes in the exhaust header.....

PS:  They break off real easy also, so be careful when ya replace it....   USE ANTI SEIZE stuff on the head side.  It could also be used on the exhaust side, but they are hard enough to keep tight.

I shot some WD-40 on the bolt and used some vise grips to get the stud out. I will go to Honda West tomorrow and order another stud. I don't think they will have that part in stock.
Does anyone knows if #17 on the microfiche is correct for the exhaust stud? Thanks for all of the responses.
