I made a mistake of not cleaning off my header before turning the car on for the first time and now every stain that was on my header is now embedded into the finish including couple blood stains
I'll have to dig harder but I didn't see any gasket in the box.
Also my mechanic asked if the stock gaskets are metal or only part metal. He says that if all metal it's OK to reuse.

Another question for the mechanic, does this come with shorter bolts? I didn't see any of those in the box either. I guess the flange thickness is radically different from stock to aftermarket.

Did any of you need shorter bolts?

I know, a lot of questions but I PM'd a member here who said that o2 extensions were not needed.

Any further input is appreciated.
