Default exhaust gasket question(s)

okay, bout a month back, i realised i had a exhaust leak due to the annoying noise and headaches, looked under the hood and a header bolt was missing on the drivers side, i was at my uncles and hes rebuilding a few cars so he had some spares, through one in and everything was fine

leaks back but the bolts still there noticed a tear in the gasket by where the bolt was missing, how impossible would it be to just unbolt my headers and slide in a new gasket and bolt em back, or am i going to have to remove the header.

also are exhaust gaskets header specific or just heads, in otherwords am i going to need a specical gasket since im not stock manifolds or will it be the same since i have stock heads.

thanks

Default RE: exhaust gasket question(s)

i believe the gaskets are pretty much the same dimension and size. unless u have special heads and headers, like almost custom, not bolt on stuff like bbk headers, then just go on summits site, find your headers and look at suggested parts and see what the gaskets look like.
