I just bought an H pipe. I haven't looked down there yet, so i'm not entirley sure how the H pipe is secured on to the Headers.
I figure, theres a stud, tightend into the Header, and the other side of the stud allows a nut to tighten onto it to secure the H pipe.

What is this "NAPA bolt kit" I keep hearing about, and why do i need it? I bought this H pipe used, and it came with no hardware.

you'll need the bolts for the h-pipe to cat-back connections, you could use your old bolts though, and if theres any sections in the h-pipe they will need bolts/nuts.

But WHAT ABOUT FOR THE h PIPE TO header connections, will i need new bolts for those? I mean, the only thing i need to remove to free the H pipe from the header is the nuts, right? Just 4 nuts, and bamn, the h pipe is freed from the header..then install those 4 nuts, with the new H pipe in position, and all is done, right?

EdIT: Ahh, you mean sections in the mid pipe itself, i see what you mean.

So, i won't need a bolt kit for the Header itself then?

I reused the studs and nutsthat held the new h pipe to the stock manifolds because it would be a pita to remove those manifold studs. Here is an article for a midpipe install plus this is a good website: http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2...hale/index.phpRemember don't tighten everything up until it's all set and tighten bolts from the manifolds and work your way towards the rear of the car.
