DC Header Install woes

Ok so I bought a DC Header used from Titiusa and tried to install it yesterday howerver I ran into two challanges.
1. The three bolts that attached the up-pipe to the header were not included
Home Depot - 10mm -1.25 - 40mm X3 (Get the right 1.25 threads)

2. the dounut gasket for the up-pipe to the CAT was missing, a search of 3 auto parts shops yielded only a workaround as I could not find the dounut. I have everthing installed but have a leak that I need to resolve shortly.

My question for the team is does anybody know what size gasket this is? I figured I would call some Exhaust shops today and see if I can find the part, else I will need to order it from DC.

huh, I ordered a header from some vendor on ebay. They said it was missing parts and it took almost a month of them trying to get the parts before I gave up and cancelled. At the time I thought the vendor was dicking me around but it sounds like DC really did f*ck up.

You should contact DC and tell them parts are missing. That is what my vendor was doing before I got frustrated.

Hey Zasker1 you really have a sweet (and expensive)setup but what compelled you to buy a used header? Did you really save that much? Being that you still have to buy additional parts. Not worth it IMO. But good luck anyway

The header is relitivly new and looks to have less than 3 months of use on it. I basicly paid half price over retail. I could have just waited for DC to send me the part but I wanted to get this installed. When I started on this it looked like the dounut was a fairly common size. ops. I could have put the old header back on but you can never turn back on Mods .
