I put them on and have forgot about them, never had to tighten them again. I talked with a header rep that has some EXPENSIVE fancy products (expanding bolts w/a recessed set screw) and he said, come over here and behind therir booth he said, "Use the Nordlock and save some money" that was at a NSRA event. I also used them on the collectors and not a leak yet, I literally tried about every other option including saftey wiring and these work the best & the cheapest I have found (my opinion only)

(thats the retail cost, you can get them cheaper if you have an account)
Google Nord lock to see how they work
k thanks for the info man. however im tempted to drop the money i have been saving on a twin turbo package for the motor. it comes with new headers and everything for the turbo units. just need to do all the plumbing! but im on the fence about it :/
