Re: will stock manifold bolts work on headers?
I had stage 8 locking bolts and removed them because they were junk, and i just went to the local autoparts store and got some. Autozone and O'reily's both carry header bolts.

I'm using stainless ARPs, and wouldn't use any other bolt, especially for that price.
I've never heard of anybody stripping that bolt until now. Probably tightened them too much... it doesn't take much torque to tighten them properly.
I would advise anybody who is getting headers to go with Breslin.
