I'm thinking of putting headers on my 00 formula. Were the ones you ordered a drop in replacement for stock? Also, i'm stupid, so I don't know what an ORP is. Could you clarify.
Thanks

ORP=off road pipe=no catalytic converters.
From what I can tell right now they are as much "drop in" as anything else. Alot of people run into snags on the install, all of which can eb obercome. It's just a PITA to me when those things happen.

I've got a 01 a4 formula. Pretty much stock. My new Mac Headers and ORP should be here today. Does this include everything I need? I'm specificaly wondering about bolts, gaskets, egr tube block off(or weld it shut), etc? What else do I need to buy. I am not going to use the O2 Simms as I am told all they do is turn the light off and the car runs the same w/ or w/o them? Any help is appreciated.

You can reuse your stock gaskets and stock bolts no problem I did on my 98 Formula back when it had 25K on it.

Soak the bolts on the manifolds to the y-pipe. Most folks end up breaking most of those studs.
