Default Interchangable Parts

Just took advantage of the GM financing and traded my 98 Torch Red (48k miles) for a 02 Millennium Yellow Thursday night. :D Had the 3.73 gears, PRT’s, TPIS headers, RM Racing Twin Flow intake & fog light screens, ported MAF w/o screen and stainless brake lines.

Dealer said he will swap all parts onto the new car. Had about 15k miles since theses mods.

Should I:

buy new stainless brake lines,
not worry about the ported MAF and keep the new one,
change anything about the headers (do they have gaskets)

Have to get used to this loud yellow car now but won’t be difficult. :cool:

God Bless the USA and our fallen patriots :flag

If the dealer is willing to swap out the parts.. go for it.. the MAF I would not change.. you should replace the header gaskets.. and the exhaust flange gaskets too

Are the header gaskets and the exhaust flange gaskets something to purchase from GM or is it something I need to purchase from TPIS or other vendor.

Thanks
