Do I need new gaskets and bolts?

Header assembly is supplied without gaskets or fasteners. Use OEM replacement gaskets and stainless bolts to prevent leaks and corrosion at the manifold flange.

Does the header come painted or ceramic coated?

This header ships in bare stainless steel finish. The natural silver appearance resists discoloration under heat, though you can coat it with high-temp ceramic or wrap if desired for aesthetics.

Will this bolt up with the OEM exhaust system?

The header mounts at factory points, but the downpipe connection may require adapter work or custom fabrication depending on your target system. Verify exhaust routing before final assembly.
