Default Pacesetter's finally in...

I got my Pacesetter Lt's in around 2 years ago, but lost my job and couldn't finish the entire exhaust project (LT's, H-pipe, magnaflows 4X9s dumped). Finally, after a positive financial turn, a weekend and with the help of some good friends (thank you if you are reading this), they are in. Install went well, fitment is pretty good, and they simply look great!

How long after the install should I check the bolts? I remember reading this somewhere, searched for it, but couldn't find it. Any other random tips are appreciated.

I also drove roughly 50 miles with open headers. While I didn't get down on it too hard, the sound was glorious

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Hopefully I can get the rest of the exhaust on asap.
