I didn't have any problems with my stockers when I installed my headers. I'd recommend a set of locking header bolts (Stage 8) as a replacement for the stockers.

i reused stock gaskets and bolts. i ran out of pb blaster so i just remove the bolts raw. didnt feel like snapping them. just hold the wrench with 2 hands to make sure the socket is on right. the 6 bolts i did snap were the collector bolts, but those arent important. also ur gonna need some o2 extensions, i just made my own.
