I would advise getting some band clamps, the clamps that come with them suck. They don't seal worth a hoot and the can crimp the pipe, making it hard to remove later.

Also get some Breslin split-lock header bolts. They will not loosen. Part# 608-026.

I used my stock gaskets as well

I also had Flanges welded onto the headers because I didnt want to worry about the bands holding.
