looks like good quality pieces.. One thing tho, those 16 header bolts they sent look like a joke to me. No washers or nothin.. i guess im gonna reuse the stock studs. And they sent 4 studs and locking nuts.. im assuming for the lt to midpipe connection? i guess im just sayin i wished they sent some lock nuts for the header studs. anyways, im gonna get the stainless steel vrs o/r x soon and takcle this along with my awaited motor and trans mounts, and steering rack bushings.

^LMFAO^ hahahaha, i cant wait til' I can get LT's someday

 

[steveb24]

yeah ill be writing them back shortly about that.. ..but any :Word: of advice for the bolts they sent?

 

[Daggar]

I would try and find out if the bolts are torque to yield. If they are, then lock washers are not required. They will be tapered to keep their place.

 

[steveb24]

nope.. the initials on them are W.T. dont know what that stands for but it isnt T.T.Y

 

[steveb24]

any ideas on the bolts? or should i re-use the factory nuts with some locktite?

 

[BlownStangGT]

Look nice.....just curious what brand they are

 

[bluextc]

awesome!

 

[steveb24]

MAC headers.. ceramic coated..

Spring for some stage 8 locking header bolts, and never worry about them coming loose again.

Use hi-temp silicone gasket maker around the gaskets and reuse the stock nuts on the stock studs and you won't have to worry about them coming loose. The 4 studs they sent are for the midpipe flange. Screw em into the header with loctite. Hope you also got a new midpipe with that deal, but sweet looking headers. Mine were just HTS coated and are now half rust-coated after 1.5 years.

 

[steveb24]

thanks.. yea i was hopeing i could reuse the stock studs and nuts. i have the percey gaskets tho.. so ill be using them. Im going to go with an x pipe (stainless steel vrs).. o/r for now, and than add cats to it in the fall

if anyone had problems with the nuts and studs.. or if you need to modify them in any way.. please let me know

[steveb24]

haha.. jk. but really.. do u guys think spending 50 on the locking header bolts is worth it? plus the extra hassle of removing the studs.. when there looks to be already no room to work with
