Does this header come with gaskets and bolts?

The header assembly ships alone. You'll want to source a quality header gasket and stainless steel bolts separately to seal the manifold flange and secure it to the engine block.

Can I bolt this straight to my engine, or does it need prep work first?

Mount it directly to factory bolt points — no drilling or modification needed. The Type-2 design aligns with original Mustang II and Pinto mounting locations.

Will this header fit with my current exhaust system?

Check your exhaust diameter and collector size before ordering. The header's outlet needs to match your downpipe or intermediate pipe. If there's a mismatch, you may need an adapter or new exhaust section.
