Yes. Always a good idea when threading stainless or steel into aluminum... It also makes them much easier to thread in.

Another vote for "yes". It will definitely help with taking them out.

Having lived a couple hours north of you (Springfield, IL), you won't have any problems unless you drive your car in the winter and leave them in for quite a few years (5+)... I use anti-sieze on lots of stuff just for the simple fact that it makes assembly/disassembly a breeze. Now, if you were talking about a boat, I'd tell you to remove them immediately.

I didnt use any when I put on my old headers 4 years ago. They (stage 8's) came out just fine when I swapped over to the new Edelbrock's a couple of months ago.
