Default Doing Headers.....
Hey guys, I just recently bought headers and was just curious as to what was needed for them.... obviously exhaust manifold gaskets, but what else an 02 sensor extension? is that right? also in terms of tightening them down, should I go with locking nuts, or just torque to spec which would be???

Thanks in advance

IMHO, Stage 8 locking bolts are cheap insurance.
