At the Honda dealership, we reused head bolts. They are torqued differant then new headbolts though cause they are already streched out.

i've been wanting to go out and work on my car, but i'm in one of my health downturns, have some degree of marfans and other health problems, so sometimes going to work and home is all I can manage

I think itts just the angle the pic was taken..
Although if you look closely at the collector, it looks like they used smaller pipes to make it.
Wonder why or if its just the pic as well
Doesn't quite look like the one they display, you get it direct from them?
