About to make an order. Do I need anything else?

About to place an order for the Stainless Works full exhaust with 1 3/4" primaries, high flow cats and performance setup. Also about to order the Hellwig front and rear sway bars and the adjustable end links.

First question. Do I need any other parts to go with these parts to install them? Gaskets or bolts or whatnots?

Second question. Are the Hellwig sway bars that much more noticeable over the stock sport sway bars?

Thanks!

I'm not sure how the stainless works gaskets are, but I know the JBA ones aren't so good. Some guys go buy new OEM gaskets! I'd also order a y pipe to go with the headers

Dumb question, but why would I need a y pipe if I'm going with the full performance connection? Its two headers into two pipes going to a x pipe going to two mufflers out the back, isn't it?

Ahh didn't want know you were going true dual! Never mind then lol

I'd advise OEM gaskets too.

Do the headers come with bolts? Don't re-use the old ones. Have some anti-seize on hand for the bolts too.

Haven't looked into this system, but if you're not welding it, and they're not included, I would rec'd getting some SS step clamps instead of U clamps.

I'm not sure about the clamps. Don't think it's the step down ones you're talking about though.

Why not reuse the bolts?

And will do on the gaskets. Going to run to AutoZone later to see if they can get oem ones. If not, dealership is 15 mins away.

Ok, so I ordered the exhaust setup through Got Exhaust on here. Andy helped me out every step of the way to get it ordered for me and answered any questions I have. Ordered it a week ago, and it was on backorder for 2-3 weeks. Gonna be a long 1-2 more weeks! UGH! LOL!

Also ordered and got in my Hellwig front and rear sway bars, and the rear adjustable end links. Was kind of iffy to spend the money to just "upgrade" my factory ones since my truck came with a rear one already, but all I can say is HOLY HELL!!! Thing is a beast around turns now! Even my wife noticed how well it handles and I didn't even tell her what the bars were for! LOL!
