What size are 3800 header bolts.
I want to say M8 x 1.25, but double check me.
Is it a combination of bolts and studs or just studs and nuts?
ARP Header Bolts?
yes.
a great example of why im staying with stock manifolds.
Part number? I can't find any v6 specific. V8s are 8mm x 1.25 do they work? I figured 12 point heads/nuts. Any of these go into the cooling chamber and cause water leaks?Quote:

Thank you all, this is great information.
I installed a set last fall and i love them. only thing i had to do is put some tin foil under the clamp to get rid of a very small leak. Also do an egr delete it will save you a headache on install. They run great tho.
MY car's about to go through smog testing I don't know if an egr delete would work.
Do you have a converter, resonator, mufflers?Quote:

I honestly wouldn't be worried man.
Yeah, I have everything. Thanks, I didn't know that.
As long as they dont do a visual inspection under the hood you will be ok.
The way you have to wedge the back header in its just alot easier to just remove the egr system and then wiggle and cram. lol
Wedge the back header? I came in from below with it.
They don't care about anything except it passes the sniff test, stops good and the lights, wipers, and horn works. They don't even really look for an engine light.
DE should be a visual and plug in state.
If you disabled the EGR, I'd suggest leaving it in a V and P state. Disable it in the programming. I'm probably the only guy that was fully built, intercooled and still had an EGR on the motor to pass inspection. ;)
Yeah i just rocked it forward and laid it in sideways then turned it.
