ordering headers... got some ?
ordering headers... got some ? ok, im ordering my headers today, can i use the stock gaskets that are on my car now? is it poissible to get the ORY pipe and have cats welded in it? and will i need new header bolts?
No, you cannot reuse the stock header gaskets. Get new ones, and it's best not to get the paper ones that usually come with the headers. Why get an ORY when you will put cats in. Depending on brand you can/cannot do that. Most won't have room but some you can. You will not NEED new header bolts, but I would advise it.
ive read somewhere that with the TSP ory pipe you can weld cats in. if i had 200$ more to spend i would get a catted y-pipe but i was just going to get 2 carsound cats and put on it. where is a good place to get gaskets and locking header bolts? and where can i find carsound cats for a good price? or is their any other cat for pretty cheap i could look at?
777, i reused my stock gaskets and bolts with no issues that i can tell, mine were metal im not sure how the 98s were, were they metal or no? i was told the metal was reusable
You can reuse the stock gaskets, just make sure that they look good before you put them back on. But its always a good idea to pick up some new ones from the delearship. Also like 777 said, dont use the paper ones!

Carsound cats aren't cheap ($100+ a piece), you would be better off getting the catted y-pipe. I don't remember the 98 header gaskets being metal, however I still think it's a good idea to get new ones, they aren't that much and it is cheap insurance for piece of mind. I'm prone to having everything new. I don't like mixing old stuff with new stuff. No need to ge locking bolts for the headers. You will be fine with a new set or reusing the old ones. Just make sure you check everything gaskets, bolts, etc..for wear before reusing them.
i thought it was carsound, but i guess not...... when i had my v6 and put headers on it i got this high flow cat from one of our sponsers and it was like 30-40$ for one. does anyone have any idea what kind of cat it would be?
