Will this bolt to the factory exhaust manifold mounting points?

Yes, shorty headers on this platform use factory bolt locations — no drilling or custom brackets required. You'll still need to verify clearance with your specific vehicle's accessories and underbody components.

Does this header need ceramic coating or heat wrap before installation?

Heat management isn't specified with this header. Many builders apply ceramic coating or heat wrap to protect undercarriage components and drop underhood temps, but it's optional based on your setup.

What gaskets or hardware do I need to complete the installation?

The header assembly ships without gaskets or fasteners. You'll want to source header gaskets (reusable or replacement type) and stainless steel bolts rated for exhaust vibration before starting the swap.
