All good advice. I have changed my pipes twice, plus have had the sideshots on and off a few times. I also use the standard hd gaskets and no loctite. Never had any trouble. Not sure how your pipes mount, but withe sideshots its important to make sure the flanges are seated good at the heads before tightening any other brackets. To me that sounds like good advice for any pipe install.

If you havent started yet, an extra set of hands are good too when you r getting the flange bolts started.

Must not have happened, 'casue there aint no pics!

I don't have anything to add to the excellent advice above, so I'll just wish you good luck with the install, and hope you don't get a ticket for loud exhaust!

yes.

I always have a spare set on hand in case they get damaged.

Should be fine, as long as you don't get violent removing the originals.
