Default Guys with Dynatech Headers Need Help!

I am about to pull the trigger on a used set of Dynatech headers. (Less then 1 year old and 4k miles). Guy had them removed, but only keep the headers, x-pipe, hi-flowcats, tubes and clamps. This is for 01 C5. I need to know what else I need to buy to complete the set and install headers.

I know I need the following

nuts and bolts.
2- O2 extensions
Header gaskets

???????

If I am missing something please let me know. Thank for your help.

There is a donut gasket that goes in the ball flange between the headers and cats. You will need that. Otherwise you sound good to go.

Give the Mfg a call. They sell kits for all of the hardware for around $75 bucks. I bought a set from another member not long ago and that's what I did.

The bolts for the exhaust flange at the collectors are hex key and not your standard sizes.

If they are reasonably priced, buy them, get the $75.00 kit and ENJOY I've got a set, the install wasn't bad and they seem like high quality headers

Look at England Green's profile - he's got a picture of Dynatech headers - his picture made me get mine, I couldn't stand looking at his anymore and had to have my own!

Tbyrne can set you up with the parts, they sell those. All you need after that is Corsa Touring exhaust.
