Do I need new gaskets and bolts for installation?

You'll need new header gaskets for a proper seal—reusing old ones risks exhaust leaks. Fastener specs aren't included with the header, so reference your service manual for torque values and bolt grade.

Will this header bolt directly to my stock exhaust system?

The header bolts to factory mounting points. The outlet size and connection to your existing exhaust will depend on what's downstream—check fitment with your current piping or muffler assembly before ordering.

Does this come with a ceramic or heat-resistant coating?

This is raw stainless steel with no additional coating. The stainless material itself resists thermal discoloration, but you can apply high-temp ceramic coating or paint if you want an extra protective layer or specific appearance.
