Default header bolts

Not sure what brand of long tubes they are but the bolts are completley rusted (washington weather) and it sounds like its starting to cause and exhaust leak.

Anyways what are my choices? Just get oem from dealer or locking ones?

They look like a pain in the *** to work with...

Try tighting the header bolts just to see if that fixes the exhaust leak. I tried the stage 8 locking bolts and I didnot like the way they started (barly even a tread),so I went with the OEM bolts.Oh, and if you do need new gaskets get the metal ones from the dealership.

Im just going to grab new bolts.

These are so rusted im afraid they might snap re torquing.

Headers can be a bitch.

Thanks for the post~!
