I really like mine and they look cool too, whats another $50 when you have a Hot Rod like these F-bodys. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I like my stage 8 header bolts. Though I opted not to use the locking tabs. I have not had any problems at all with them backing off in the last year and I've had one of the headers off twice with no problems.

I paid $32 for my Stage 8's from thunder.

Who pays $50 for Stage 8s? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I paid $30-something for mine from Tbyrne last year... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
