Have anyone ran long tube headers with an off road y-pipe?

Yea I do...I'm assuming I'm going to have to buy new header bolts as the original ones are probably going to break off (which is why I'm not doing it myself) even with only 47k miles. Mr gasket makes some cheap ones and so does arp, but then I seen some God awful expensive "studs". Is that going to make a difference at all weather I buy the bolts or the studs?

I prefer studs but that depends if there’s enough room to get the headers on after putting the studs in. If nothing else, OEM bolts and OEM gaskets work just as well.

I am running Kooks 1 7/8 long tubes with catless y pipe. They came with stage 8 locking bolts for the headers and the connection at the y pipe to headers. It’s been a little over a year and no leaks with the provided header bolts from stage 8. I deleted my rear 02’s and just put plugs in the bungs.
