Bought downpipes, Parts needed?

GreekMaverick · 09-14-2011, 06:59 AM

Hey guys, I bought a set of Raceland 2.5DP's that are at the shop getting coated (www.hotshotusa.net/). can someone tell me what additional hardware is required to put them on?

Is there a specific parts# for those gaskets?
Can I use the stock gaskets from my oem ones?

Thanks

buy the bolts and gaskets from AR. That's what I did for my RL dp's. Also, you MUST buy new bolts because the factory dp's have studs permanently attached to them.

$50 for gaskets and bolts seems a little extreme. you can get 2.5" universal gaskets for like 5 bucks and automotive grade bolts for like 3 bucks, so less than 10 bucks for everything. AR Design parts must be made from the fibers of baby unicorns in order to charge that much

Yep autozone for me. Had to get smaller bolt at ace to sqeeze in 1 of the AR holes. Autoparts store should work, just bring the dp with you.

You got me??? I just used them because they get good reviews and have yet to hear of an alternative.

You could always go stock gaskets, new ones of course, and some coated grade 8 bolts and nuts so they don't rust.
