why not reuse your stockers? i reused mine with zero issues and also i took my headers out 3 times and reused the stock ones just fine. but if you must buy new id recommend stage8 headers bolts.

lool you better not! i seriously still cant see why you need extra bolts lol its an easy job to torque the bolts and all. once you get them lined up and in place you are done. and yeah use gm mls gasket. cant go wrong with it good luck

Stage 8. I've reused my Stage 8's three times my headers have been on/off the motor with no problems. I think I paid $40 for them back in the day and haven't had to replace any of them, including the lock fasteners... it all still works. Good hardware for a marginal cost increase over stock.
