Hi all,

I'm currently in the middle installing my Hooker LT's and had a couple of questions for those who have installed headers:

1) Did you use the OEM gaskets or the ones supplied with the headers??

2) Did you buy locking header bolts or use the supplied bolts?

3) The ports aren't flush with the flange on my headers, should i grind them flush to the flange?
