Header install questions. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hello all,

I currently have a Corsa catback exhaust and have recently purchased a set of Stainless Works off-road factory connection point headers to connect up to the Corsa exhaust.

I've so far ordered gaskets from Jerry's gaskets and Stage 8 header fasteners. Now, I'm a little conflicted about the dipstick tube. Does it need a special bracket after installing headers? Also, what is the dipstick grommet for that Jerry's gaskets sells? Does the grommet get screwed up and needs to be replaced? If I need a new bracket, does anyone know where to source one? I saw Jeff Vette mentioned in a post, but it was such an old post and I don't think it is carried anymore. Lastly, I opted to have the headers ceramic coated by Stainless Works. Are there any hoses/electrical wires that will still need to be heat wrapped even if the headers are coated?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
