I have 1 3/4" SLP headers waiting to be installed. I want to get stage 8 headers bolts but I remember reading a while back (cant find the thread) that stage 8's wont work with SLP's is this true??? Why?

The Stage8 bolts will work with those headers. Only problem is that not ALL of them will work. The header flanges have extentions on them to accept the brackets that hold your accessories. You will unfortunatly have to use some of the bolts that came off when you took off the maifolds. You'll be able to tell which one they are because these bolts are double sided. Meaning you thread them in the head and the top of the bolt has threads on it also. I'm using this exact setup and I've never had a leak. Hope that helps.

I found that they were not long enough at least I did not think so and went with some lock washers and the bolts provided from SLP, I've got tips page at:

There is also a limited amount of space between the header tube and the mounting hole, so little in fact that i couldn't even get a socket over the bolt head. the stage 8's have that piece that goes over the head of the bolt and then the retainer to hold that on, well you have to grind that piece down significantly to get it to fit inbetween teh tube and the head of the bolt, Did anyone unerstand what i just said? i havent put all the retainers on my stage 8's yet because it looks like its going to be real pain, plus i want to get a allen socket to tighten the bolts more than just with the allen wrench.
