The factory bolts may be too long.

Use the ones that come with the headers. Be sure to use Anti-seize on the treads!!

I used the the ones that came with my Pacesetters. They worked fine and yes use anti-seize. Check them after several heat /cool cycles and you should be fine.

I used the ones that came with my Pacesetters. Make sure you check them periodically though because even after a few months i had one back out on me.
