So I’m not getting through to B&B’s website and Maryland Speed seems to have followed the Dodo as well. What the hell did I miss?

jesus thanks. Maybe their site was just down last night.

So I have the 3” X-Pipe exhaust already and just ordered the smaller headers and catted connection pipes. My car is basically stock besides high flow cats, the cat back and hptuners with a mild adjustment.

What heat shielding stuff should I do while I’m in there? I figured plug wires and O2 sensor wires. What else? Starter? I don’t want to have to mess around later on. I’ll read more but if you could do it again or would do it with less budgetary concerns how would you do it right? What extras should be part of the ideal header installation?

good call. I’ve got revshifts in there now with the extra silicone jacket. As long as they’re still intact I’ll get something around them as well.

Would you suggest using the gaskets and studs in this post?

or are the B&B (or AC Delco) gaskets good enough?

happen to have the part number you used for the bolts? Any chance they have a stud set?

edit: don’t see any stud sets. 8900 looks like half the price of the arp studs on Amazon. I’m sold.

Headers got here this past week but with no gaskets or hardware. The ‘what’s in the box’ drawing on their website clearly has a parts list. I emailed them asking about it. No reply but I did get another UPS notification that a third box is headed my way, only 1 lb this time. I assume they just forgot to drop it in the box. Anyone know what gaskets they send? I’d be inclined to just use them as long as they are MLS like the factory ones. .

Yeah the B&B ones do look like MLS but they’re those cheap dimpled ones. I ordered AC Delco.

The headers came with 2 O2 sensor extensions. Don’t I need 4?

Thanks. If not I’ll put it here for future reference. Not the end of the world for me. Appreciate all the help.

Ok well tomorrow is the day. Would anyone be interested in stock manifolds and cats as well as a pair of trubendz bolt-in high flows? I’m thinking I should save the shipping boxes for that stuff. It’s never going back on. I’ve been sitting on the stock cats for like 6 years.

did you have to dimple your B&B headers? My steering shaft rubs slightly when weight transfers to the left during slow right hand turns.

Were they 1-3/4 or 1-7/8? I’m not convinced mines rubbing tbh. It (steering) felt a little weird the day before the install and was ok/inconsistent today driving home. I definitely could see daylight between them but I guess the rack probably shifts a little and so will the engine. Can’t do anything this week anyway so have time to look at a few things.
