jus got some SLP headers from someone. does anyone know if i need the SLP header bolts to install? I am trin to use some other ones but the socket just wont fit...there isnt enough room. What is so special about the SLP header bolts? Any help will be appreciated!!

There's my problem

here are the headers

 

Use a wrench.

 

Glad I scrolled down before replying with the same exact thing. Looks like plenty of room for a wrench. Summit sells a "header" socket, I guess this is where you would use it.

 

alright well im happy you guys came up with that solution...wat about the SLP bolts? are the heads of the bolts smaller for more clearance around the flanges? if so i might buy those jus for ease and quickness...they are only like 5 bucks

 

I paid for the slp kit that came with a bunch of stuff i didnt use and i had to buy some other bolts for 2 of the holes anyway. I ended up with 3 diff type fasteners holding them on, what a pita.

 

That SLP installation kit was a complete scam, I sent it back, doesn't matter too much anymore though.

For my SLP headers I used all 5/16" grade 8 allen head bolts (AKA cap screws). Worked like a charm. I re-tighten them about every oil change, usually I can get like a quarter turn on them on average.

 

alright thats wat i wanted to know! thanks guys. umm im just using the stock bolts for the two other holes with the spacers on them. I was about to order those bolts but now im not. thanks!

 

yea, SLP's install kit is crap, i bought it for the bolts, kinda figured i would get the 3 or 4 longer bolts that are required....NO. Just a pack of cheapo black headers bolts. I Used a set of 1" long SS 12pt ARP bolts for the majority and longer ss 12ptARP with the washer heads ground down a bit for the longer bolts. I think the longer ARPs i used were water-pump bolts i had left over after i changed brackets Works great and they all match!

 

thanks guys i got my them installed all went kinda smooth one i got a small enough wrench to tighten them up. ill post a clip with open headers in a bit
