My DC header should be in today. My question is does it come with new gaskets or do you just reuse the ones on it. I have never put one on a scion before. Also, about how much time was needed for install and how much of a pain was it to get to. I have only install headers on motors where they are mounted to the front or sides of the engine, never the rear.

Thanks for any advice. Also i am new to the forum and will be posting pics of the box soon.

 

re-use your old ones. i shot a little bit of copper spray on the block to header gasket, and be sure you GENTLY pry the donut off the stock manifold on the header to downpipe side it just slides on the new header, furthermore, i hope you had access to a little person like i did.

 

I bought a new gasket just to be sure...the old one was looking pretty nasty so I'm glad I did. It took me and my friend about two hours to do it since the bolts are so difficult to access. We used an air gun to remove the spring-loaded bolts at the bottom.

 

I bought a new one, but when I pulled the old one off, it was still perfect, so i saved the new one. Took me an hour to do, the spring loaded bolts are a royal beatch!, used 10" extension on a 3/8" ratchet. Soak them with some PB Blaster or WD 40 though the day before you do the swap, will make them easier to get out.
