Default Long Tube Headers Question

Do I have to order the Percy gaskets and x-pipe with the headers or can I just get the headers? I will be getting them from Brenspeed.

you'll need the matching x pipe bc the stock one won't fit with LT's
and the gaskets may be a good idea, as most gaskets with headers aren't so good.
which LT's are you getting?

I don't know if you already bought them but I would go with a better brand. This is not a fun job, it is extremely time consuming and frustrating. pypes has poor quality control. you do not want to get half way through the job and find fittment problems. I know the price is apealing but you will understand if you get a set like i did

My pypes fit like a glove. Zero issues. Buy the Percy gaskets too.

I think buying pypes is like rolling the dice. you might get lucky, you might not. if I were to do it again, I would not take a gamble when installing headers

+1 Save up and forget the made in China GARBAGE, they cost $600 for a reason and when they rot out you'll have to do it all over. I reused the the factory gaskets.
