Header Install Tips?

[ImColeTrickle]

Just got my SSAC Headers in and I plan to put them on during my spring break which is coming up soon. I have a few questions

1. Do I have to have copper RTV?

2. Do the exhaust manifold gaskets need RTV?

copper rtv the band clamps, and use your factory manifold gaskets dry.

what he said. Dont use the gaskets that come with the headers, re-use the stock ones they are alot better.

Personally..I don't find RTV necessary for a header install. The guys that answered are well experienced too and I do take their advice and opinions..but never needed RTV.

I never used it either on my install. I used it only in one spot and that was the #1 primary cuz the stud practically fell out of the head. No fight to it at all, just one easy turn.... So I globbed rtv around the flange
