I ordered a header, presilencer, engine to header gasket, and 2 presilencer gaskets from Racingbeat. So im wondering if you guys have any tips for installing the new exhaust components? Should i use some anti-seeze on the bolts so if i ever need to get them off its possible? Any other helpful tips?

Thanks alot

 

I'd call them back and have them add a muffler to your order.

Then take your car to a muffler shop and have them weld in the whole setup.........

I agree on the muffler part but you can't sell me on the welding part. If you want to replace one part, you have to cut it out and reweld. If this is the first time underneath to do the exhaust, you might find out the hard way about removing a welded system.
If you have the anti-seize, does this mean you have the nuts and bolts? Outside of that, I replaced all my hangers while underneath the car. On the last one, I just used the stock hangers at Autozone, they were only a few dollars each and the only downside was you have to drill the holes bigger inorder to fit the steel spacers that goes through them. And a benefit with the header, it leaves you enough room to get to the drain plug on the oil pan from inside the engine bay. All I do is kick a drain pan under the car, reach over the fender and down to the plug and we are changing oil.

 

i dont have the cash for a rb muffler right now so i was thinking of getting one in the future

 

Magnaflow is cheaper, and I hear they work well.........

should i just run it around with a freaking loud exhaust until i can throw on a muffler... (im 17 and can afford some more hearing loss) Since my two 12's havent made me completely deaf

 

Just wait another pay check, buy a muffler, and install it all at once.


One noise ticket will probably cost you more than a decent muffler.
