fyi when removing the exhaust manifold the rear bolt on the passenger side, use a wrench i wanna say a 13mm. its alot easier than spending 2 days trying to get a socket in there.

I think the stock manifold bolts are 9/16".

What headers can you get that you don't have to send it off to get ses light tuned out? Also will the headers fit on the stock exhaust?

I don't have a driveway that I can leave my car in for 2 days or more, so I figure I'm gonna have to pay someone for the install.

Does anybody know someone who'll do great headers/cats work in socal?

bolts come with headers. If yours are used and didn't come with them, buy a set.

mine are not locking and have never backed off

the gasket is the important piece
