I'm goin to be putting on a set of headers this weekend hopefully but I don't know what hardwear to use. I was lookin at ARPs n Stage 8 but didn't know what ones to get. Could some one giv me some ideas an hopefully a link to the correct ones thanks.

dont know but use stainless steel ones that wont rust RPM is doing work to my truck and i didnt even know but 3 of my header bolts were snapped off due to rust so probably gonna end up getting heli coiled.

I want to use stainless steel ones but don't know what ones to get

what headers are you putting on?

I used stage 8's for my truck.

the reason i ask is because alot of the headers you buy will supply new bolts but ive heard that with pacetter you might want to use new ones, if you bought ARH, Kooks your for sure ok and OBX i think they are ok too but not exact.

I have some grade 8 bolts at the house I never used if you want them.

Cheap

What size and length are the stock manifold bolts?

Can you just pick up some grade 8 bolts at Lowes and use them?

I just bought a set of OBX headers and CANNOT use the bolts they came with.
These bolts are garbage.

Any Sugggestions?

use stock ones

I've used the stock ones, three times now. Clean them up with a wire wheel and toss a dab of anti seize on the threads.

Stock!

 

[ericspants87]

SHIT. too late already bought em...
Oh well ill reuse the stockers anyways.
and resell the Stage8 ones...

What do you guys think about O2 sensor extensions? needed?
edit: for headers that is....

 

[Jared]

what brand headers?

 

[ericspants87]

OHH BEE EXX

dont hate.... im poor

 

[Jared]

i believe they do require the use of an O2 extension. You can go dig up the info in one of the OBX threads.
