I have a used header to install but do not have any additional hardware. What do I need to install the header? Can i use all the original bolts and header gaskets?

Thanks

 

yes

 

The bolts should still work. I would get new gaskets though. What kind of header do you have?

The gasket will be fine.

 

you will have to remove a bracket from underneath the car that is bolted to the oem header. Make sure you have a breaker bar....it makes it so much easier...with a breaker bar i didn't even use WD40. It took me about 2 hours last night and that was with me jacking around. For sizes you will need 12mm and a 14mm to remove that bolts. Thats all I used. Maybe a 10mm to.

Also make sure you remove the o2 sensor before you unbolt the header.

 

2 hours? it took me about 30 minutes to install mine. And yes BREAKER BAR is essential if your car is a few years old. This car was WAY easier than my Saleen ever was...

 

I broke that tab off on a brand new car. Spraying it with WD or Liquid Wrench is a good idea.
