What most people use is from a company called Stage8.
The set for 4.6/5.4 is #8906; they are 1" long.
Here's the problem--Bassani headers use 1.25" or
(8mm.-1.25"x30).
Here's the solution--custom order Stage8 #8906B, these are direct replacement 1.25"ers. While you're at it, order the collector bolts that lock as well
(3/8"-16x2&1/2" with 3/8"nuts).
Are these locking bolts good?? Hell yes. Are they a knuckle busting crapfest to install?? Hell yes.

 

can i get these stage 8 bolts at the parts store or do i have to order them? If i have to order them, then by any chance do you have the number i can reach them at? Also, (if i can't get them at a parts place) do you know of any bolts that would work that i can pick of from a parts place, then what kind is good?

thanks again
justin

 

Most large HP mail order parts places carry the standard ones and can probably order the longer ones; like Jeg's, Summit, Brothers, etc. These are not common at parts stores and only the standard 1" set is usually stocked at local speed shops. It's easier to deal directly with stage8 for these special applications. website= www.stage8.com
