Cat Bolts and MAF Screw Question
Good afternoon all !
I'll be swapping out my cats this weekend for FI HFC's and am currently sh*tting myself with the stories ive read about the top bolt on the header side. The car has 117k (2004) so you know the bolts are gonna be fun. My question is, does anyone know the size of the bolts? I already ordered gaskets for the header and midpipe sides, now i want to get a set of 10 bolts, nuts, and washers to replace all them in the exhaust. Im assuming any bolt that will fit through the gasket will work, but also what length is required? Or if i'm wrong, please let me know!!
Also, one of the 2 screws holding my MAF into the airbox is stripped. I'm going to need to take it out when i switch my airbox with a rev-up (finishing up the full intake/exhaust before I get my car tuned in a month). Does anyone have a good way to do this or know of a reliable stripped screw kit ? I already have and like the craftsman stripped bolt kit, but i wasnt sure if anyone had other kits they liked.
Last question that I just thought of... if i put HFC's on this weekend, (I already have a catback, plenum spacer, and z tube) will i run into any issues driving lean for a month? I'm in PA and the temperature is gonna start dropping soon. Not sure if ill be hurting my engine a ton for only a month, or if i should try to move the tune up to next week.
Thank you!!
