true if you're into stainless... but if you want to keep in the heat IN the header and not in your engine bay.. get the coated headers...

Ill take keeping the headers till the car dies over keeping the heat in the header anyday, the coating eventually wears off and then the headers rust...you could coat the stainless for a few hundred $ and then have the best of both worlds but if you are going to go that far, you might as well just get some coated kooks.

pacesetter comes with new stuff but it is junk and XS doesnt come with anything but clamps. Best thing that everyone does is use stock header bolts, stock gaskets and get some stainless band clamps for the collectors. If your car is older, get new gaskets from GM dealer, they are like $10-15.
