i used the bolts that came with my headers from mac, you can use your stock studs tho, and for the gasket i dont remember if the car came with multilayer steel, or if they came with my headers, so if they come on your car you can re use them with no problems

 

Anyone else? The only bolts I can find are the stage 8s. I'm going to contact mac.

 

Just reuse your stock studs/nuts. You can put some loctite on them if you want but its not necessary.

I have some bolts that came with the headers and some stock studs/nuts because some holes wouldnt take the new bolts.

 

I should tell my exhaust guy that. He thinks I need new studs/bolts and that the old ones are actually too long to work with on longtubes.

 

in about 2 hrs i will be taking my first go at the drag strip hoping to break into the 15s

 

got bored so i made a heat-shield. i cut up a garbage can, wrapped it up in insulation wrap. took me about an hour.
before i wrapped it

 

Looks good.

 

looks a little ghetto but it will get the job done. and it was free.

 

15.6412 sec @ 89.29mph. im damn happy about that!
