Header Questions

I "want" sidepipes.....but for now I'm thinking of just putting some good headers on... My exhaust is all pretty new 2.5" back to Flowmaster Delta 40's....

Question 1: When I take off the original manifolds and put on headers, will they line up to my tubes or will it have to go to an exhaust shop to get them to connect...

Question 2: If they dont bolt up, is there something I can use temporarily to connect it so I can drive it 3 miles ???

Thanks in advance !

1. Probably won't line up.

2. Coat hanger. Just don't get on it in those 3 miles.

It won't line up and go get some ofthe cheapo flexible tubing and connect it up. Just use some big hose clamps and it will last a few miles.
