Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need new gaskets when installing this header?
Yes. Use fresh header gaskets at the manifold and downpipe connections. Reusing old gaskets risks exhaust leaks.
Does this header come with mounting hardware?
The header assembly is included. Verify your existing fasteners are reusable—if they're corroded or damaged, source new hardware before installation.
Will I need to have this ceramic coated or wrapped?
Not required. Stainless steel won't rust or degrade from heat. Ceramic coating or wrap is optional and driven by preference for underhood appearance and heat management.
