bolts have nothing to do with leaks. but they supposedly upgraded their bolts from a grade 5 to an 8. I didn't risk it. I went out and bought the highest grade I could find at lowes.

This place by me Bridgeview Automotive Which is a small, but the only place i trust to do a set of headders right. They use hi quality fasteners with locks and after they installed those i had 0 leaks. Till i sold the car. Bridgeview automotive are absolutly the finest Exhaust shop too If you live in the chicago area and are looking to do a custome exhaust I highly reccomend them.

alright the install is done and the end results were worth the increase in low end torque and hp, i went with the 1.5" primaries and 2.5" dp w/cat but i know most ppl went with 1.75" primaries and was wondering what differences you noticed with that set up?

dude bolts have specs for reasones, you should follow them always. very easy to have something on too lose or snap something from cranking down on it too hard
