Default What LT Header Gaskets & Bolts should I get?

I am going to get LT headers + o/r H-pipe installed soon and was wondering what and where I can get some good gaskets for a decent price. Also, do I need new header bolts?

mine came with new bolts but you should and throw away the new crappy papper gaskets and get some stamped copper gaskets. Seriously.

You need to look up stage 8 locking header bolts. They are a must!

I got mine used so they didn't come with anything. What brands would you suggest and where can I get them?

Sound good thanks for all the help. I am going to go with the Percy seal 4 good header gaskets and the stage 8 locking header bolts from JEGS because they carry both.Should I just go ahead and get the Percy seal 4 good collector gaskets for between the MAC headers and the MAC H-pipe. Its only another $15. I need the 2-1/2" ones right?

Aftermarket Midpipes, Catbacks, are 2.5 inch piping. Unless you get 3inch.. but the majority is 2.5

Geetee, I was just about to buy this stuff. Are you saying I should use stock bolts and gaskets or just bolts? What are the stock gaskets made of? Also, I pm'd you yesterday about your setup because I am installing LT and an NX plate kit and I already have 4.10s and had some questions if you don't mind responding to my pm.
