Use a fresh header gasket at the cylinder head flange — reusing the old one risks exhaust leaks. The factory gasket compresses over time and won't seal properly against the new header.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I bolt this directly to my stock downpipe?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepends on your downpipe. Most OEM downpipes mate at the standard flange, but test-fit before final tightening. If there's any gap, you may need a reducer or custom adapter — we recommend checking fitment before ordering a full exhaust system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this need to be painted or coated after install?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Stainless steel doesn't rust in exhaust heat, so bare stainless is safe long-term. If you prefer a finished look, high-temp ceramic coating can be applied, but it's optional for corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"K2 Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45873601315050,"sku":"K2-4774-HON-006-EC","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0477\/0427\/7142\/files\/HDS-ARSX-NS-2.jpg?v=1772740209","url":"https:\/\/www.k2-industries.com\/en-de\/products\/header-stainless-steel-02-05-honda-civic-si-02-06-acura-rsx","provider":"K2 Industries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
