Did you weld your headers on or bolted them on?
 
I just ordered my fa20club catted headers and am just curious.

I dont feel comfortable doing something that will render me unable to go back to stock.

With that being said, I "will NOT ever, ever, everrrrr" weld my headers. WeeeEEEEEEee will never ever, everrrrr, weld our headers....

There are body building forums for that kind of thing... :thumbsup:

And definitely weld them. Its the best way to ensure a total seal to the block.

That's just plain insanity. Welding them to the block. I was just bicurious because I've seen people weld them to blocks, which I find crazy and wanted to know if bolting them on will be as safe

Lol is this a post for laughs or serious???:iono:

please post pics of stainless flanges welded to alloy heads :p

if I were you I wouldn't buy just headers, I would look for headers already welded to the head so that then I could simply bolt on.
now, since you did buy specific headers already I beleive you should follow what the manufacturer says and if you are not sure, you'd be better off asking him than making a whole thread (although in this case I really appreciate it as it does make my commute this morning so much better)

please let us all know if fa20club says you should weld those

I have welded together every single mating surface on my car that didn't melt in the process...

My car will NEVER, EVER come apart!!! lol

Welding headers on is just stupid. I would suggest brazing, and/or zip ties.
