Need help with header parts!
About to install a set of used kooks headers/catless xpipe and mids...
Unfortunately, I have no gaskets and no bolts.
What bolts and what gaskets do I need to use with the kooks 1 3/4 headers?
Thanks!!

Just reuse the stock stuff. I went ahead and put on new OEM gaskets, but everything I've read says that was just a waste of money, the used stuff seals up fine.

For any project like this, all you need to do is send a PM or call Gene Culley. He will look up the part numbers for you and price them.
I bought header bolts from him because I didn't want to clean the locktite off the old bolts. The new bolts come with locktite pre-applied.

I might order bolts... if its going to save time with the install. Let me know, thanks!

Locktite is a "threadlocking" compound - keeps the bolts from backing themselves out and loosening. Header bolts are notorious for coming loose.

Torque the bolts to 18' lbs and they wont back out. If you dont have a TQ wrench, buy one.
