3.4 pacesetter question

[andrew.brandon]

I have seen where somepeople complain about not gettign header bolts sent with the headers. my questin is weather you need new bolts. do you? I hope to inastall mine in the next few weeks and I need to know. If I ned new ones where can I get them?

[Predator Bird]

i'm going to add another question to yours since i might be getting headers too. do the pacesetters come w/ decent gaskets or do you need better ones?

[andrew.brandon]

thats a good question, I forgot that one.

[andrew.brandon]

anyone?

You will definitely need new bolts. The flanges on the stock manifolds are MUCH thicker than the header flanges. I did NOT get new bolts with mine so I used LS1 exhaust manifold bolts from the dealership. They work perfect.

[andrew.brandon]

Where can I get some bolts? I think bolts from the dealership would be costly since its dealer parts. and what about the gaskets?

[viper98885]

Gaskets that come with them are decent, but you could always use the FelPro exhaust manifold gaskets too...they are nice.

[andrew.brandon]

Where can I get them? you sell them viper?

[Red94]

mine did not come with bolts either. go to jegs or summit and order stage 8 locking bolts, they are a god send with camaro headers. also my gaskets are working perfectley

[Jerriko]

The bolts are a 10mm x1.25 fine thread bolt. I just got some grade 8 bolts from my local hardware store. The stock gaskets suck, they always leak. Get the felpros.

[andrew.brandon]

but where can I get the felpros?

[viper98885]

We sell the FelPros. The one thing I like about the LS1 exhaust manifold bolts is the fact that you can use a 10mm socket with them. This will make installation a WHOLE LOT easier.
