Do I need aftermarket bolts to install an uel header?
 
Hi,

I just bought a used uel ft86 catted header, along with a pair of new grimspeed gaskets.

I currently have the stock overpipe, will I need any additional hardware such as additional/different bolts to mount the new header? or can I reuse the original bolts that connect the header to the overpipe when installing the new header?

Thank you!

I would just go ahead and go to fastenal and get some new ones if I were you. You don’t have to but why not.

You'll need new bolts

You don’t. I’ve had my header off 3 times and still on stock nuts. Just make sure they’re not chewed up and the thread is smooth and clean.

I used the same OEM nuts and swapped out the header about 5 times.

Last time also had a turbo manifold hanging off it.

If you use a torque wrench and tighten the nuts up properly you wont need new ones.
