Got my LG pros today. Have install scheduled for Monday. What about the clamps that come with them . Should I buy the better ones or do you think the supplied clamps will do the job?

The clamps that come with them are fine. I haven't had any trouble out of the three sets I've installed.

Thanks, I hoped someone would say that . I think I spent enough on the headers good clamps should be included.

I bought mine used (only installed for 4 months) and re-installed on my car. No leaks with the included clamps for 6 months now.

All this threads about installing headers are making me want to get some for myself but then again I rather finish paying the car.
Congrats! "got2hav1" too.
