jtfairlane New Member Mar 5, 2006 468 3 0 Oct 7, 2007 #4 Oct 7, 2007 #4 ARP Stainless. Length will depend on thickness of your header flanges (vary between brands) Most SBF headers end up needing either a .750" or 1.00" header bolt, again, depending on the thickness of the flange.

Check the tightness after a couple heatcycles and they are good to go. Wes
