Would be nice to know what header you are getting. For all we know your friend has a Mustang and then you would need A LOT of work to get it on.

If he has the same car...and ex...then you will have to know how to take off bolts, put on the header, and tighten bolts.....it's a difficult job.....damn bolts...i wish I knew how to take off bolts.

If you want, you can get new gaskets. A doughnut and an exhaust gasket. I changed mine out when I got my header. Your choice though.

**** man, and they take like 2 hours too!!!

anyways, on a mroe serious note, it is not necessary that you change out your header gasket....but I highly recommend it because this mother ****ers got a leak!
