Here are all of the part that came in the package:





Now which parts should I NOT use?

 

I am having them installed tomorrow morning at 9 so if anyone can tell me what I need to get from Lowes/Home Depot before it gets too late it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

 

Buy new nuts and bolts and reuse the old gaskets

 

gaskets being the top two things in the second picture right? They feel like they are made of plastic almost... Not even as strong as plastic. It's like cardboard wrapped in tin foil is what it feels like.

 

good luck with the installation and give us some reviews

 

Grade 8 bolts @ ace hardware, reuse stock gaskets, and use the o gaskets that xs supplied

 

I used the supplied gaskets in addition to the OEM gaskets. Originally the headers were put in with only the OEM gaskets, and I had eternal leaking. When I re-installed, I used both and the exhaust leak is gone.

 

Anyone else think I should use both gaskets?

 

My headers were perfect just re-using the OEMs

 

 

get some new bolts and re use the stock gaskets
search for xs header thread and you will see what bolts you will need

 

8.8 is the strength. you will want 10x40 1.25 or 1.50 pitch Metric bolts (or the equilivent size in standard)

 

just use the oem gaskets, and the o ring gaskets supplied.

 

Well my car is at the shop right now getting the headers installed. I am sitting at my dad's office and if I want to go anywhere I have to drive a big old Dodge Dually Diesel truck... lol big difference from the tl. I can't wait to drive my car once the headers are installed!!! weeeeeeeeee

 

weeee? lol, hope the mod goes well, ps. nothing wrong with a big ol diesel truck... you can bully lol

 

Man those are nice header where did you get your at?

 

do a search, n00b

 

How Much did it cost to get them installed?

 

I don't know. I didn't pay for it. We have a company account with the place I got them installed so it just get charged as 'work truck service'

 

haha sounds like the first thing you need to do with your new headers is buy some coffee for your dad with your "work truck".

 

I opened my hood today because I am repainting my mesh grille and I looked down at the headers and they have turned a nice looking golden bronze. They look great!

 

Yea they turn color a little from all the heat going through them. Nothing to worry about.

How are they treating you so far??

 

I'm lovin' them.

Look at this picture I took today. I laughed my ass off for about 10 mins after I saw him:

 

haha he could use some headers on those two things...

 

lol i almost had to do that the other day. our lease was up so we had to move to another house and i wasn't about to put my lawnmower in the trunk...

 

That would have been a sight seeing you do that down Tennessee in the middle of the day lol

 

lol, yea ended up getting a buddy with a truck to pick it up for me. you need to get back already so we can do these fogs. since there was such a good response in your thread, i think we'll put together a DIY for everyone to use.

 

sistom did you get your headers from ssautochrome.com? How do you like them so far? Im thinking about getting some.

 

I am loving them... When I slam on the gas to pass someone you can feel the power and I love it!! Get them for sure. ssautochrome.com,

 

just to make sure, the header for our TL is the one listed under Acura/Accord V6 right?

 

Im I reading the site right there only $88 bucks?
