quick question RRM headers

I have already used the search button and I cant find the answer so here is the question. I purchased the RRM headers today and magnaflow high flow cat and I wanted to know if a new downpipe comes with the headers? And what about new gaskets? I know the CEL eliminator does but I was curious about these other things. Thanks.

Also question about the order of parts...

Headers to downpipe to high flow cat to 2.25 inch catback to the flowmaster exhaust?

You will have to purchase new gaskets, and there is no down pipe included.

I believe eBay sells 3 inch downpipes now. Just order a new exhaust manifold gasket from your local autoparts store or get it from the dealership.

Or you can also buy a kamikazi header that is a header-downpipe and is 2 1/2 inch .

the listing says that no modification is needed that this is a direct bolt on replacement so I guess I have a choice to make of whether to use the stock DP or try out this one.....I would most likely have to cut off the end anyways because I have the weld-on high flow cat and my exhaust shop can make an adapter to go from the 3 inch DP to the 2.5 cat so....

either cut it off and weld on the cat directly, or they could use the bolt plate from the oem cat and weld it to the high flow cat so it would mount up to the DP...I dunno, atleast i have a few days to figure this crap out

The link doesn't really look like a 3 inch , more like 2 1/2 and if it is then thats why its a direct bolt on .

That is just a stock photo. I'm sure the one you'll be getting is the real deal and should be able to fit your catalytic converter. It doesn't look long enough to delete your converter. The Kamikaze headers is a 4-2-1 header i believe. The RRM headers are just a 4-1 to give you power in higher RPM range and the 4-2-1 is for lower RPM range.
