Default header bolts??

I plan on having new TSP headers installed in another week and was told that it would be better to install the headers with the oem bolts vice new ones because the oem ones have been thru several heat cycles thus will not loosen up like new ones at first ....what do you'll think? ....thank you

I used my OEM bolts and so far they haven't become loose.

I've reused mine also. Although I think I may go with the arp studs so it is easier when installing them myself. Of couse there around $100 so I may not.
