Going to replace the header pipe and converter. Need a little advise... 200

Hello, everybody.

I'm going to replace the header pipe and converter. My question is...
Do I have to use some special sealer along with new gaskets?

Sincerely,
Dmitriy.

If your replacement header pipe includes a plugged hole for the O2 sensor that you will not need (if your O2 sensor is mounted to the cat converter), recommend using exhaust sealant on the plug, or staking the threads so that you don't lose the plug. The plug is non-standard, and hard to replace. If staking the threads, do it before bolting the pipe to the converter so you don't damage the converter.

No, Header/exhaust manifold gaskets are put on dry. Use new ones.

Also torque all nuts/bolts to factory spec - no more, no less or you'll have a leak (e) 200
