Default TPIS LTH

Hello Friends,
Does one need to have STAGE 8 Grove Lock Fasteners to lock the primaries to the flange/block? If so, can I pick these up somewhere other than on-line.
Are there any other options?
Thanks again,
MonarchZ06

Use the lock washers supplied, you'll be fine.

I don't have any special kind of locking bolts on mine and they seem to be fine. I've had them on a full year now without any problems with exhaust leaks. I did use fairly expensive copper exhaust gaskets, but I don't know if that would matter at all.

I had a local shop do the installation and they recommended the copper gaskets because they have had problems with other gasket materials. I don't remember the specific brand.

Just got my TPIS headers in. Hopefully, my Bullets (C5 PRT with quad elliptical tips) will be arriving any day now. The X-pipe will be performed at the shop (Phoenix Performance). I hope that this partial system will soud 'mean'.
