Use the stock bolts and the stock gaskets. You will notice increased sound. you wont notice any performance gains unless you have tuned for the exhaust mods you've done.

i know its common sense but whatever u do dont get impatient and try to take out your stock manifold while its still hot.. that what i did and ended up breaking off 1 bolt in each head..use some kind lubricant or somethin and losen them slowly and dont over tighten when intstalling..and i noticed a slight low to mid range gain before tune and after..it was a world of a difference,
good luck

I use Stage8. With the cost of a set of long tubes not being that much more than a set of bolt on shorties the longtubes are a no brainer. If you use Stage 8 it helps to remove the plastic wheel wells. This makes removing and installing the header bolts a whole lot easier.
