Someone did one some time back but I cant remember who? But other than the bolts, anti-sieze, gaskets and hand tools, thats all you need. You would want to soak the original bolts with PB Blaster or other penetrating oil though.

it depends on the headers... shorty headers will bolt right up. If you get mid-length I think you have to cut and weld once on each side. Lt's youll pretty much need a new exhuast but its worth gettin one anyway cause of the factory Y

You can get those Stage 8 locking bolts from Moes but they arent cheap. I just put on my drivers side header (LT) tonight before it got too dark and will do my pass side tomorrow after work. But I got my grade 8 bolts from a local hardware store for less than $5 for all 17 of them

If you are going LT's then you are going to need some more parts to make a system that the headers will connect to.

I have read that those "locking" header bolts are expense but once fitted, you never have to worry about them unscrewing and needing re-tightening again.
Something to bear in mind, if you don't want the chew of having to go through the worry about stripping threads in the heads etc.
