Headers: Bolts or Studs
Hi everyone. I’m getting ready to install long tube headers on my 2013 GS. For those that have done them, will I have clearance issues if I install ARP header studs as opposed to ARP header bolts? I’ve used studs on previous LS3 build(416LS3), but the engine was on a stand, so no issues on installations. This time I will be installing this on my back with the car high up on jackstands. Any suggestions and/or tips is greatly appreciated, thank you. And do I just order GM oem exhaust manifold gaskets?

I used ARP stainless 12pt /studs. Easy to hang the headers on the studs and start a couple nuts. Used GM gaskets and have checked torque twice, all good.
(I was on my back also.)
