Question About Prochamber Install (Replacing Header Bolts)

[comatose]

Is it necessary to replace the header bolts on a prochamber install? I really don't want to because it looks really hard to get them out of the headers, plus I have a newer prochamber that includes the flange for the driver's side. I've read that many people use that NAPA bolt kit, but removing the original header bolts seems to be really dificult.

Also, can I reuse the existing manifold gasket? It is in really good condition (I think), and the one that comes with the Prochamber absolutely sucks.

Thanks!

buy the bolt kit, some wd40 and use 2 nuts (both literally and figuretivly) to get the exhaust studs out


i used the stock metal gasket on my car but she was only a year old when i installed the pc. the gasket is only like $8-10 from ford if you want to be safe

Gasket...go ahead and get the Ford piece. Use the Mac one for a frisbee.

Bolts... I didn't swap mine and have had the pipe on and off 4 times. Just use the originals. I can pull my Prochamber on and off in 30 minutes now.
