Default Headers and long trips?

Guys,
I want to put some LTs on, I do alot of long trips to hunting destinations and do not want to have to worry about them leaking or constantly tightening header bolts.

So if you have had headers on for at least a year what have your experiences been?

Had my long tubes for 3yrs or so and havent had any issues. Install them and put a couple hundred miles on it and retorque the bolts and all should be well.

Have had my long tubes on for almost 3 years, havent touched them since the day i put them on, no leaks yet. only thing i have ever removed was the y pipe thats bolted to the header collectors, had to drop the trans when she blew up. damn 60E!

I had pacesetters on my hunting truck for a few years. Only issue I had, is its harder to hide from the warden. Makes it easier to run though
