But leave the wiring attached to the egr in the pic. Just unclip it. Make sure to remove the air pump inside the fender too.

Yeah, tape up the connector and zip tie it out of the way.

Just reuse the stock header bolts, they will work fine.
You reused the stock gaskets too right? You didn't use the pacesetter ones did you?
Start tightening the bolts from the middle out, once completely tightened down, go back and TQ the bolts from the middle out.. I can't find my Haynes right now, darn it, I forget what to TQ to.....

Here ya go, I think its 18ft/lb tq
