Be very careful if you use the stock exhaust bolts. Most companies use a thinner flange than the stock exhaust manifolds. There are several threads of people who broke the bolts trying to torque them. Last thing you want to do is have to pull the head due to a broken bolt.

I was explicitly told NOT to use loc-tite... something about the material differences between the bolts and the heads could brew a recipe for disaster in some cases. Just what I heard from more than a couple people. I used stock bolts on my pacesetters btw
