Anybody got any links to good bolts that I can install this header with?

Any additional install tips would be lovely as well.

 

you should be able to use the existing bolts that connected the factory header. The header you got on ebay should be tapped to accept the factory bolts. if not, tap em to accept the factory bolts. I am not 100% but you may just need to get 2 nuts and some lock washers if you dont want to tap the header if the ebay header isn't tapped for bolts- this pertains to the 2 bolts that connect the header to the b-pipe (lower connection)

Now, if you strip the bolts that connect the header to the engine, THEN you will need some new bolts, but if you go slow and take your time, you shouldn't strip those.. If you do, take one to the closest hardware store, and get direct replacemtns there.. metric bolts are easy to come by, just get 12mm heads, and try to marry up the leangth to stock.

It's best to try to remove these with a cool engine, and if you can get in there with some wd-40 to help loosen them, all the better..


here is the diy header install page..

you should also get a new exaust manifold gasket, and new doughnut gasket so you dont have any exaust leaks..

 

I think the headers I got come with gaskets for the engine side and exhaust side but I dont know about the donut. Where would I get a new one if thats indeed nessecary?

 

^ take it off your OEM header

 

oh and ebay headers dont come threaded

here is a thread already on them
