Header Bolts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was putting on my dc sports headers, and ALL the bolts came off easy except the spring bolts. (the ones that connect the header to the downpipe). Well those ****** snaped off. Can i find those at any automotive store like advanced auto parts? or do i have to get them from the dealer??? THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!

Don't replace them with somethink else. You need the spring bolts. Did you try ordering some from the HONDA DEALER?

Rep Power: 367 just a long enough bolt would work too.. u can replace them with something else and it shouldn't matter much.. of course u'll need some thicker and big washers along with it so u can have the spring sitting on the bolt..
while i bought the spare bolt from honda i used that.. and imo it worked much better.. since its also a higher strength bolt.. damn honda and its grade 5 selections.
when u take it off.. take it off intermediately.. as in, untighten one side.. then the other.. dont do all on one side then work on the other.. that'll add stress to the other side..
the same goes for when u put it back on.. when u tighten it, tighten one side a bit then the other.. torque spec is 16 lbs.ft if i remembe right.
this way the spring sets in and it wont be loose and there wont be any exhaust leak.

Rep Power: 0 Yeah, Edgar did that crap. Called me and told me to bring my impact gun over and when I got there I was like, WTF?!?! Then I had to crawl under it and do it in the dark cause he did not have a flash light. :lol
