I don't think I have seen it covered in any of the threads that I have read but is any of the hardware used to secure the header to the head one time use only or can the hardware be reused?
I plan to check the studs/nuts out before taking it apart so that I have enough new parts on hand to replace as needed

NorthPole SVT... I strongly suggest you look under your car to see if you have the two bolt or three bolt flange. If you have the 3 bolt, you won't need the adapter parts except the fitting for the EGR. You can run the stock cat and get MIL eliminators & live happily ever after.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

You can reuse everything, i even reused the gaskets and i dont have any exhaust leaks. You can reuse the studs and nuts easily, but if your scared just buy new gaskets, its not a necessity tho.

geez, had i known trubendz sold 3 bolt flanges i could have save myself $130! then again, its illegal in CA for a shop to tamper with a stock cat, at all......but i do know backyard welders..
Matt, i still have my stock 2 bolt flange cat if youre interested. all youll need then is the donut gaskets for your msds. do you have the msds Y pipe? or just going to optimize your stocker?

I bought new studs and nuts because I knew living in New England, the sand/salt from the winters had mine all corroded and having my car almost 10 years old and as a daily driver, it was the best thing to do just to be safe..now I have heard many didnt need it, but imo its not a bad investment to have

Youll need the flex pipe. You wont need a test pipe unless your changing your cat.. if thats the pipe your talking about.
If your cat is 3 bolt the flex pipe and WR headers will bolt right to it....

wrong, if you have a 3 bolt flange then you have a stock flex pipe, the headers and y pipe are a direct swap.

He means the EGR tube (exhaust gas recirculation tube) which goes from the stock exhaust manifold (near the Bank 1 Upper O2 sensor) back to the EGR.
In this picture, it is on the right and it is covered by a "cloth" (?) heat shield.

here you go.
Autozone has a good schematic and they call it Orifice Tube Assemby in Fig. 1.
