Does this header work with my stock exhaust system?

Yes—this bolts directly to the factory manifold location and connects to any standard exhaust piping. If you're keeping your OEM muffler and pipes, you're good to go. Pairing it with an aftermarket exhaust will maximize the benefits.

Will I need to tune or re-map anything after installation?

On non-turbocharged models, no tuning required. If you're running a turbo or have custom fuel management, a dyno tune will help you nail the air-fuel ratio and unlock full potential. Otherwise, bolt it on and drive.

What gaskets or hardware should I have ready before install?

Grab a header gasket kit and new exhaust manifold bolts—don't reuse the old ones. Mounting hardware for the manifold flange is not included with this header, so verify you have the correct fasteners on hand before you start.
