Default Can you install STOCK manifolds with header bolts?

Right now have DynaTech LT's (w/cats) + GMMG exhaust. Moved to Germany for a military tour. Found out Germany has dB noise laws. In short my neighbors + the German DMV are $h!tting litters of kittens over current setup (it's a bit loud ) I have stock manifolds + cats coming that I bought from a guy on this board..... but he didn't have the stock manifold bolts.

So..... will my Stage 8 header bolts from my LT's work to install stock manifolds? I'm not sure if the length of the header bolts would be an issue (ie bottoming out in the head .... )

Thanks in advance for responses

For what it's worth I just installed a set of stock manifolds (Extrude honed) on my LS6 using the ARP LS Header Stud set. They look better than the OEM bolts, but they protrude a little more and will make all future spark plug changes a more fun.
