Default DC Header O-rings ?

Trying to throw on my 2 peice DC Header but I was wondering if the header already has the O-rings on. Here's a picture of what the top peices looks like.

Is that one of the O-rings ?


Or do I need O-rings for the bottom peice ?


Thanks and sorry for the n00b question

bolt it together ... you'll be fine as long as the rings are on one side.... IMO

i have the same header on, if you bought it brand new it should come with the two O-ring for the top piece and bottom piece to bolt up. you don't need an extra two O-ring to bolt to that bottom piece.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by eg6_rick &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i have the same header on, if you bought it brand new it should come with the two O-ring for the top piece and bottom piece to bolt up. you don't need an extra two O-ring to bolt to that bottom piece. </TD></TR></TABLE>

I bought it used and that's how it came. So you think it's ok to bolt it up without any other o-rings?

it's hard to tell,but it looks like the upper half is flat,and just has marks left on it frm the o-rings.the lower half looks to have machined recesses for the o-rings(which aren't there in the pic).you have to have those in there or it will leak like crazy.as far as i know,the DC headers use the stock size o-rings there-any auto parts store will have these in stock.wouldn't hurt to take the header with you to make sure you get the right size part.

The o-rings should be black
