Fantastic- on the subject of headders and PITA install; where do y'all put the kitties? Is there any room left anywhere for'em? I was under the truck the other day checking stuff out with that in mind and couldn't fathom peicing it all together..........

Bud, if your slip fit is anything like mine was with the Pacesetters, get the sawzall out 
The way these OBX coppies are, they should come apart just fine.
As far as the manifold bolts, I managed to get them all out of the 4.8 withoug breaking any, but the one closest to the firewall on the drivers side was already broken.
Dont worry theyll go on with no leaks. "theyll hold with 5" LOL

Not saying that they'll definitely leak, just saying that the stockers are better. I ran the paper gaskets that came with my Gibson shorties for over 5 years without any leaks also, but when I went to my StainlessWorks long tubes I opted for the stock MLS gaskets at the advice from the folks here...if we were to go 15 years down the line, the paper/graphite style gaskets will be dried out and possibly cracked while the layered steel gaskets will still be metal

Well thanks to White1 and you other guys, i just bought a set of em for 300$ shipped.
Going to try them out. Hopefully they will work good and help my motor breath better, and give me some deeper sound.
I will report how the install went as soon as i can get them on, prob end of this week.
