got my long tubes in today and they look great but wheres the bolts for them? when i bought my edelbrocks they came with everything but my long tubes didnt? anybody have any idea why i didnt get my hardware?

 

well my asm's came with new oem gaskets but not bolts. they recommend that you use the factory bolts.

 

what in the world. i got some paper gaskets. i believe factory's are steel or alum. and i got a block off plate for the egr. i just figured they would send some bolts with them though. i guess ill just reuse my ones off the edelbrocks. other than that im 100% satisfied so far.

 

I reused the factory gaskets and bolts and no problems so far, only real problem I have had is getting the y pipe to bolt on without leaking.

 

I reused the factory bolts as well as the factory gasket and had no problems. I cranked down the clamps on the collector and it sealed up just perfect. The headers were spread farther than the ypipe by about an inch so I just took a ratchet strap and wraped around the collecters and pulled them in.

 

I used the stock gaskets and bolts and used the u-bolt clamps for the y-pipe and it all went fine accept i have a little leak where the headers meet the y-pipe but its nothing to cry about
