Ok I went to autozone, advance auto parts, and o'riely auto parts and none of them had new bolts, nuts, or whatever for me to install my headers. does anyone here know where i can buy them? my headers didn't come with new ones and i don't wanna reuse my old rusty ones... please help...

The studs must be bought from the dealer, but for the nuts you can use M8-1.25 nuts from the hardware store (they will be 13mm head, instead of 12mm like OEM is). I do prefer the OEM Honda nut though, if you look at it you'll see how much higher quality it appears to be. I have had less trouble with stripping OEM nuts than with ones from the hardware store.

 

ok... so when i go to the honda dealer how do i ask for the nuts... do i say i need the 9 nuts for my exhaust manifold or headers? because when i went to the auto parts stores they didn't knw wat bolts/nuts i meant! they were stuuupid!

 

plus this one guy even said, my car's non-vtec when i told him its a 95 civic 1.6 vtec. i said WHAT! he said only the B16 is vtec, sorry but i had to school him on the civic motors. lol... then that dumbass made an excuse sayin i'm not big on hondas. LMAO!

 

You are not required to have ANY knowledge about ANY car what so ever to work at those auto parts stores. Sometimes you'll run into someone who knows their ****, but for the most part they might as well be flippin burgers at McD's.

What you are looking for is Exhaust Manifold to Head mounting nuts (and studs, if yours are bad) for a 1.6l SOHC vtec motor. (Just give them the year make and model and they'll give you what you need)

 

alright cool. plus hate the fact that u don't need knowledge to work at those stores. they should require it tho... n thanks for the help people

 

you take one of your exhaust nuts with you to the auto part store and have them match the threads or any hardware store but from the heat of the exhust they are just gonna rust again, i say if you are bothered by it that much put them on a cardboard and spray paint them black

 

hey... i never thought about spray paintin my new nuts... and there is paint that resist high temp! thanks 94civicHB!!!
