Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need new gaskets and bolts when I install this?
Yes. Use fresh header gaskets and hardware during installation—reusing old gaskets invites exhaust leaks. OEM fasteners work fine if they're in good condition, but new bolts are cheap insurance.
Will this bolt directly to my stock exhaust system?
The header bolts to your engine. What happens downstream depends on your existing exhaust piping. Test-fit the outlet diameter against your current mid-pipe or cat before final installation to confirm clearance and fitment.
Do I need to do anything special before installing it?
Inspect the gasket sealing surfaces on the cylinder head for carbon buildup or damage—clean them down to bare metal if needed. Check that all mounting bosses are intact. Once that's done, you're ready to bolt it down.
K2 Industries & OUR OWN FAQ's
How do I check fitment?
Check the listing for your year, make, model, trim and engine. Body style, build date and factory options can matter. If the listing is unclear, send FI Performance your vehicle details and the product link or SKU before ordering.
What comes with this part?
Check the product description for quantities, hardware and accessories. Photos may show the part installed with other components. Ask us if you need to confirm whether a part is sold individually, as a pair or as a kit.
Will I need extra parts or modifications?
That depends on the part and your setup. Check for adapters, wiring, coding, tuning, trimming or additional hardware before booking installation. If you already have aftermarket parts, tell us what’s installed.
What should I check for headlights or tail lights?
Match your factory lighting type, connector and body style. Halogen, HID and LED assemblies can differ even on the same model. Check pre-facelift versus facelift fitment and features such as adaptive lights or leveling.
Should I have a shop install it?
We recommend a qualified installer for wiring, engine, brake and suspension work. Inspect the part and confirm fitment before cutting, drilling, painting or modifying anything.
When will my order ship?
Availability and lead time vary by item. If you’re working around a shop appointment or event, contact FI Performance for a current estimate before ordering.
How do returns and warranty claims work?
Contact FI Performance with your order number before sending anything back. Eligibility depends on the item, its condition and the applicable policy. If there’s damage or a defect, keep the packaging and send photos of the part, label and issue.
Is this part intended for street use?
Check the listing for any use restrictions and confirm the requirements where you drive. If you need a specific approval or certification, ask us to verify it for the exact part number before ordering.
