Stock bolts, new stock gaskets, antisieze the header bolts, and either 13011s or a 12" and 24" extension. Good luck.

I got a set already. I heard my original stocker gasket can be use also. I have no problem getting a stocker ones but if my old one can be use again, I might wing it to use the old one.

New gaskets. The original's are good, but come on your car is 6 years old, get new ones for $26. Especially after buying new headers....

FWIW, if you're a cheap bastard like me, I've re-used my stock gaskets three times. Never had to retorque header bolts and never had a leak. That's kind of the premise behind layered steel gaskets.....you can reuse them.

I advise the new ones too, the old ones will most likely have seperated, they are two piece gaskets. Just get new ones, better to be safe than sorry.

Why use old gaskets on top of the line headers anyway, that's just crazy!
