Installing New Headers - Checklist?

Hi folks,

I tried to repair some holes on my '99s OE steel exhaust and of course they've not lasted so I've bitten the bullet and picked up a really nice polished stainless steel set of headers and collector box from Motad - it was the last one of a batch on ebay so got a good price.

Anyway - I wondered what I should definitely budget for in terms of clamps, studs, gaskets etc?  The OE parts prices are insane in the UK so want to avoid going unecessarily overboard,  even with aftermarket versions.

I'm assuming the various gaskets are a must. What else would you guys advise? The rear header clamps look pretty cruddy.

Practise shouting:

"AAAAAH YA BASS"

So you come prepared when on of those studs snaps off.....   :goofy:

Yes on the gaskets, ensure you have removed the old ones.
