MAC headers + prochambers from Brenspeed
Where would I be able to find the those header bolts? Seth from Brenspeed suggested Summit Racing, but he also said the bolts which come stock from the factory are pretty good too and they haven't had a problem. Suggestions?
Don't know the best place to get replacement bolts, but just wanted to share my own experience.
I installed FRPP shorties last spring/summer and I reused the factory gaskets and hardware. Just last week (6 months later and two weather seasons later) I installed new motor mounts and while under there, I checked my factory header bolts- they were all tight as can be..... no problems at all. I would suggest that the factory hardware is plenty good to use, although the aftermarket version ($$) is fine too.

If you are speaking of the Stage 8 bolts that I post about a few posts back I bought them on Ebay. I just came in from my longtube install about an hour ago. And I can say using this bolts with there retainers and E-clips is a pain and probably added about 1 hour to the install time. But they can't back off and loosen up.

I heard the flows aren't much louder then the GTA's that true? I didn't hear any trumpeting but do you have any under hard accel?
I just switched from GTA's to the Flows. I have LT's, off road X, both from Bassani, the GTA's were horribly barky. Very raspy and a lot of trumpeting, even at start up and mid rpms. The flows have a deeper growl, and sound really good through the mid range. The do bark at WOT, but I am gonna have that with headers and x-pipe.
