There is no gaskets where it connects to the manifolds. Get some studs form www.shonutperformance.com hes got stainless stud kits.

Yeah there is a dough nut gasket to go between the y and the catback. Frogot to say that in my first reply.

There is a gasket but for the same price you can get the brass looking High temp silicon that works just as good

PART NUMBERS

Exhaust ****** Doughtnut Gasket: Fel Pro 60641
Exhaust ****** Bolt and Spring Kit: Fel Pro ES72142

I could not find it on AUtozones site though, so they MAY not carry it. Although I would think they could at least get it since they carry other Fel Pro gaskets.

I havent been able to find it at AZ or advanced auto... they only seem to carry the SLO gaskets. Napa has em though. $10.49 I think.

I can get both the studs and the gasket at Checker Auto Parts in stock. I believe Checker Auto Parts is the equivalent of Schucks/Pep Boys

I have only been able to find the y-pipe to catback gasket special order from Ford. Costs about $7.

I just go to a parts store and ask for a 2.25" dough nut. Nothing special about it.

Hi Guys,
I'm referring to the nuts,bolts and possible gaskets (if needed) from header pipes to y-pipe. not doughnut gasket on the catback.
Thanks guys.

There are no gaskets there.

There are no gaskets there.

The bolts/ nuts are actually STUDS/ nuts that usually bust off if if you've been in a rust-area and they haven't been removed for a long time. Take your time, lots of PB blaster (WD40 just doesn't cut it) and maybe a torch to get them to move without breaking off.

Mine were original and last year when I put the clutch in 2 broke off. I had to remove the headers and put new studs in. (easier if the subframe and exhaust is all off!!) To get the old ones out I put the header in a vice, had someone hold a torch to it while I cranked on them with a pipewrench. Sheesh.

Shonutperformance.com has the sets from Ford. There are 2 studs and 2 nuts from each header to the y-pipe. Under $5 a pair I believe. But other places should have them, too.

I picked them up from Lappens auto parts today, 4 bolts, 4 nuts and springs? I haven't even looked yet, tomorrows project, i'll let everyone know then.
Again Thanks to all.

Well after reviewing the work at hand, living in the NE, have come to the conclusion that the bolts are NE salt welded.
Thanks.
