any reason to NOT reuse stock manifold bolts?
doing headers soon, is there any reason to not reuse stock bolts?
are they going to be long enough, not sure how thick the manifolds are compared to flowtech headers?
trying to stay on budget, and i've already slightly exceeded it. so $40 or so bucks for bolts that are not required would put me well over.
besides the stage 8s that have the allen wrench hole (don't they) for easier install...what are the advantages?

A few. They loosen up by themselves after a few times driving, (thats why lock bolts would be good) With the lock bolts you dont have to go and tighten up your header bolts every couple days.
Are they rusty? If so, why chance them breaking off in the engine if you need to remove them for god knows what?
Im sure there are more, I just cant think of em right now...11 am is REALLY late for me (Im a night person)
