Installing my vibrant header and d/p this weekend..

So I'm gunna be installing my vibrant header and d/p this weekend that I bought off a friend but I need to get bolts. Does anyone know the size bolts that comes with the set and are they spring bolts?

On another note- if it doesn't come with spring bolts would it be benefical to use spring bolts or should I just stick with what it comes with?

Well when bobby sold me the header and d/p, the bolts he used I don't think were stock cause they were all rusted on and I broke them all trying to get them off lol.

i just had to do the same thing for my vibrant header when i installed it last night. I had some extra bolts laying around at the shop tho. Just try and find 3 nuts and bolts the same size or close to stock and you should be ok. Also if ur gasket isnt new make sure u use some gasket sealer for exhausts on it to make sure u have no leaks. specially where the header bolts to the dp. good luck

I'm actually waiting for the new gaskets to get here, I ordered them from vibrant. They were suppose to get her tuesday but I called the wednesday after and it turns out that they forgot to send them out...lol.

The other problem was that I have no idea what the stock bolts look like, I got the header and d/p a while ago and the old broken bolts were thrown out when taking it apart.
