Great headers
^^^^ Same story here. Tightening the header bolts after break in was on my "after break in list" to do. Never got around to it. Didn't need to. No leaks after 3-4 years I think. Mine were given to me by a square body guy who had a custom set made. I had to put a little half moon notch in the upper passenger side frame rail but that's it.

Not nickle plate ( I wish) but ceramic or jet hot. Still silver. No rust.
