stage 8 locking bolts are great!!

if you never wanna have a blowout, then use the metal gaskets...(available at jegs and summit)

DONT USE THE GASKETS THAT COME WITH IT!!!!

:cheers:

also make sure your engine isnt running lean cuase thatll cause the jet hot coating to eventually flake off..... then itll look like crap.

Which gaskets did they suggest? I couldn't find any with the oval pattern that dynomax uses. I'm running the paper gaskets that came with them right now. I want to get those things replaced ASAP!

Thanks,

I just received mine yesterday. They have little machine scratches in them. The scratches don't penetrate through the ceramic coating, so should I not worry about them and keep the headers or should I send them back for an immaculate pair?

Sounds good ! They probably won't be immaculate when you get them on. Install.
