Stage 8 header bolts???
Is it worth upgrading to these? I am going to install another set of headers and I am not sure I want to reuse the factory bolts again. The stage 8's are about 32 bucks. I think they make have allen heads which may make installation easier.
I have one hole that needs to be chased. Anyone know what to chase it with??

the tap you need is M8 x 1.50. your headers should come with new bolts. My FLP's did! i dont see why reusing them is a problem. with headers on, the bolts are easy to get to, too. I have had my headers off and back on 2x already and just reused the bolts. save your $32. oh, yah, chase ALL the holes.

According to a well know installer, you don't have to chase the holes unless they visibly need it. But what you do want to make sure you do is blow ALL the water out of the holes or you'll get bolts with water locked underneath them.
