Do I need gaskets or sealing compound before installation?

Gaskets are separate from this header and must be sourced separately. Use OEM gaskets or quality aftermarket replacements rated for your vehicle's engine temperature. Apply gasket sealer per manufacturer instructions before bolting the header down.

Can I use this header with my stock exhaust system downstream?

Yes. This header connects directly to factory exhaust piping or aftermarket systems that accept standard header outlet sizes. Double-check outlet diameter compatibility with your existing downpipe or cat-back setup before purchase.

Will the header fit with my current intake manifold gasket?

No modifications to your intake gasket are needed—the header bolts to the same factory ports your stock manifold used. Your existing gaskets will not seal against the header, so new gaskets rated for the header's flange are required.
