So I am going to be installing the BBK headers this weekend and wanted to know if the BBK Gaskets were good to use? Also when installing the header bolts should I used an anti-sieze or loc-tite? Some told me it was a good idea to use anti-sieze because of the bolts heating and cooling off all the time??

anti sieze yes
bbk gaskets: I've used them but if you have the money get Percy's.
Header bolts: you can reuse the stock ones, but I would reccomend locking bolts.

On a side note do a forum search. this topic had been beat to death.

Helped install SLP LT's on a friends GT. He used the Percy gaskets and the SLP instructions said to start each header bolt with antisieze applied to the threads. We used the SLP bolts that came with the headers. Screw the bolts in 2-3 turns and remove. Reapply more antisieze and torque to spec.
