Put my headers on today and and the bolts that came with them seemed a little short. When I started to tighten the first one I only got about three threads and that was it. But of course I had to get that one more turn of the wrench, and I stripped the the threads in the head. Needless to say I put the stock bolts back in after I re-tapped the head. Anyone have trouble with the supplied bolts.

That's why I used the factory bolts. The other reason is that I bought them used and I only got the headers. I have heard a lot of bad things about the bolts supplied with the Hooker's, they are just plain too short. I research everything before I install things on my car to make sure I don't run into any problems, and I think you should too, for safe measure. Threads like this are all over the place.
