hotshot headers

I got my headers today, did any of yours come with exhaust manifold gaskets? Is there anything else I need to purchase before putting them in? any tips for install?

when i got mine, i did get a gasket with it, but i think it was just the guy being kind and throwing it in for me. The header is a simple bolt on process and shouldnt give you too much hassle. Goodluck, and enjoy it.

My friend is selling me his for $200, but i might go turbo soon so i dont need it

If you got the HS headers, it should have come with all the gaskets (3) The main header gasket, secondary, and cat gasket.

Im working on building my G20 site and Ive done a how to on the HS header install you can get a sneek peek here (http://www.customsteel.com/2001/MyG/)

Theres a couple of odd tools you might need.

For some reason I didnt get the gaskets. The only one I got was the secondary one?

Hey guys i'm new to this forum...and i have a 2002 G20 and so far all i have done is a Hotshot CAI...but for the future i am thinking of getting a header and i was wondering if headers come with a downpipe or do most people just use their existing downpipe? and if i get a header is it better to just replace my muffler instead of getting a Greddy Evo cat back? cause as i read all your posts it seems like you lose torque on the low end with an exhaust?
Also with rims i was thinking 18s wrapped in 215/45/18 and i was wondering if with bigger tires on the car would that rub against the inner lining of the car? If you guys have any info on all this and could please get to me as soon as possible thatd be great...id appretiate it alot
