It's been almost 2 weeks, just haven't had time to go in and check but no leaks so far. Will have it done before the weekend though. Damn thing gets so hot and by the time it's cooled off I forgot

So I got the header on. I snapped the bolt in the bottom middle turning it to tight 
but got all the rest on really good. I cant move the header at all and it feels really tight, do you think I could get a leak from it or should I be alrite?

It will probably leak. Just replace the stud. No reason not to.

If you are not happy with something on the header Brad will replace it no questions asked. That's one of the best things about it. The seller backs up his product.

Glad to see everyone is happy with their headers after putting some miles on. I don't know if anyone answered the question on how to remove a broken stud. The cheap way is to thread two nuts onto the broken stud and back them into each other than use the nut to unscrew the stud. This does require a certain amount of threaded length remaining on the broken stud.

no problem man! thats why I started this thread. I think this site sees too much of the negativity on products, so if I find a product im extremely satisfied with from ordering to receiving and inspection, and installation to performance gained then i think it should be put out there for others to see! More info for a small company to compare to the larger company vendors on this site!
you wont be dissapointed for sure!

This is what I have.
Are these the gaskets you all got?
Mine is an older CA header, that was never installed.
The outlet flange studs are loose when threaded in, I don't think they are correct.
