is there anything else i should get before i install my long tubes? like gaskets or something like that? im getting new motor mounts and the sensor extensions aswell.

If your headers did not come with gaskets you need them. Otherwise you'll have a HUGE exhaust leak.

jlugo_70 07-22-2009 01:54 PM

i bought them thru another forums member. so i will need them?

Yes, you will need new gaskets.

You will also need new bolts. I went with the stage 8 locking bolts.

No you dont. Just re-use the metal OEM gaskets because the aftermarket gaskets suck.
I used my OEM gaskets they worked great no leaks and easy to put in place on the headers.

Agreed. They reused my stock metal gaskets and I'm still leak-free (the headers at least! :icon_doh:) two years later. The rest of my exhaust is another matter...small holes keep forming (hot spots???) in my h-pipe..

I also used stage 8 locking bolts.

well the jba headers i bought from the member came with bolts. so it is recommended to buy new stock gaskets?

no need just reuse the stock ones you have now...I would recommend the stg 8 locking bolts if those are not the ones that came with your jba's.....do it once and get it right the first time:icon_wink:
