Do I need to get the whole reseal kit for the GMPP extuded honed manifold or do I just need individual parts? IOr do I even need to replace anything? I only have 12,000 miles on my car. Thanks, in advance.

always use new gaskets when chaning out exhaust pieces.. or else you will end up alot of time with leaks that become very aggravating..

hell.. you could probably go to like Advance or Autozone and they would have the gaskets cheaper

 

Okay, so I wouldn't need any studs or stud nuts. Just the 2 gaskets?

bump

 

Mine came with gaskets and studs. If you have any question just PM crate engine depot. Tom should be able to help you out.

 

I got the manifold to down pipe bolts and nuts . Cost me like $5 at the dealership . Make sure if you do ge the manifold to chek out the holse becasue towards the ends where it meets the engine the holes were like stock so I bored it out with my dremel and polishihed it as well. Oh and when you do it there is a certain toque sequence to tighten the nuts from the manifold to the block. The only one I did not replace was the down pipe to the cat back becasue the catback came with a new gasket and I did hte install 4000 miles prior .

 

I would reccomend buying the whole thing... gasket, studs, bolts. Better safe than sorry and CED's prices can't be beat.

 

Okay great! Thanks I just sent him a message. +1 rep for answering!

Okay thanks +1rep for you also!!

Appreciated it thanks! +1rep for you!

Thanks for your input! I don't own a dremmel so I wouldn't be able to do that. +1rep for your help!!

 

that dude up there must give good BJs because i just ordered the 3 studs and bolts for the manifold to downpipe flange fromt he dealership and it cost me 28 dollars. maybe he ordered the wrong things but i will get them in today and we will see

 

 

man you got ripped . The manifold gasket , bolts and nuts for like $30

 

What is the torque sequence to tighten the nuts from the manifold to the block?

 

i believe there is a pic floating around here somewhere for the bolts

order of tightening the manifold bolts.

Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown to 14 Nˇm (10 lb ft).

 

Great thanks! It took me a minute but I found it.

Sweet +1 Rep for you thanks!

 

No problem. im gonna need that also when i install my CA header. lol

 

Had mine installed without all. I guess CED forgot to include the gaskets and studs that I did order. No prob though. Install went well and no probs so far for a month or so........!!!!

P.S. If CED wants to throw me the parts I did order and pay for please P.M. me and I will accept!!!!

 

Yeah, I'm still debating on the CA header or gmpp manifold. I don't think it will effect the warranty any if I go with the CA header because my dealership won't know any different. They are retards. Have you heard good things about the CA header?

 

i have heard some good and some not so good. im still waiting for the redesigned header for my2.2. the orginal header was hitting my coolant pipe and wouldnt bolt to the block.

 

Damn! You better get a refund or credit towards another purchase.

 

Not worried, When they took out the old gasket I was suprised to see no wear at all. We checked all the studs and they were staight and no wear also. I've got about 30 picks of the install with the manifold,stage 2 and a performance cat-back but I don't know how to easily show the pics.....................let me know how to and I will start a new thread right now!!!!!
