BBK Long Tube Header Hardware

[SmokeOps]

Recently picked up a cheap set of used BBK long-tube headers. I was wondering if anyone knows if anyone sells the hardware for it or what I can buy if I were to source it myself. I also bought a BBK catted X pipe for it, and I think there are the longer exhaust bolts for that too that I will not have, so if anyone knows where or which bolts I should buy for those, that would be greatly appreciated. I know that if you buy a new set, it comes with some hardware you have to modify. If there are some aftermarket bolts I can get that wouldn't need modifying, that would be preferred. Also, does anyone know if I can just use a stud that I cut to fit where BBK says I need to use the bolts?
Thank you

Get yourself a tune after the install. You’ ll love it!!!

I installed BBK shorties a few years ago. I was able to reuse some of the fasteners.

I will say this - use 6-point sockets only! Those little studs will round off in a heartbeat with 12pt sockets.

Also make sure you get good quality header gaskets.

On the hedder gasket be sure & retighten bolts after 750 miles. Makes a big difference in the life of the gasket.
