MAC users come in please....

I'm about to install my MAC headers + ORY. for 2001 Ls1
I got them in a very good condition for low price, but I didn't get any bolts with it.

My question is if need any, or can I just re-use the stock ones ? (I'm talking 3 bolts on each header flange, and the Y-pipe bolts...)

If I do have to order those, when is the best place to look ? MAC Performance itself ?

Thanks

Stock header/manifold bolts should work. Sponsors have them as well. ---->

as stated above you can go ahead and reuse your stockers. Or if you want you could spend some cash with a sponsor and get a nice set of header bolts.

Thanks a lot guys ! In that case I think I'll reuse the stockers for now. My SS has only 17,000 miles on the clock. Bolts should be in good condition....

Again - Thanks guys !

I'm not sure what I'm doing yet. Thinking of going with the Grade 8 locking bolts. I'll probably use the stockers for a while.

My car has 53K on it...should I get new manifold,EGR and AIR pump gaskets when I put mine on?
