Exhaust Manifold Parts (1 Viewer)

[schmeb2000]

Hello,
I am replacing my exhaust manifold, I am getting the manifold from DT. I've read the gaskets are bad and decided to get OEM ones along with new studs and bolts. I put a screen shot below of all the stuff (from partsouq). Does this look like the correct items and amount of them I need? I also added a picture of the DT part, is it the correct one? I have a 2000 LC with the 4.7.

I think OEM is the only other option, I could be wrong tho

I recommend using the gasket that comes with the DT headers intead of OEM. The aftermarket gaskets are thicker and seal better.

I saw someone else post to go OEM. They said they go to s*** in 5 years. That’s the only reason I was getting the OEM. Thank you for the info.

What amount of bolts and studs should I get? No product description is really telling me what I need to order along with.

You'll need 8 studs/nuts for each side for the block to the headers. The DT headers will the come with the 6x nuts and bolts to connect to the down pipes.

My personal opinion is that if your heads are in good condition (i,.e, the aluminum isn't pitted), then you should stick with OEM gaskets. Best I can tell, I've never seen anyone report a leak due to a gasket failure - can't say I've looked super extensively though.

Does this look correct?

That looks correct to me, based on checking Partsouq with the VIN from my '05.

Absolutely! Just trying to give back to the community that has given me so much knowledge and help. I will say, the DT headers are super easy to install....

...when the engine is outside of the vehicle. hahahah.

Is there a gasket needed between the manifold and down pipe?
