Hey just a quick question,
Is there a way i could tighten down my headers so that my freakin car doesnt sound like crap. is there any bolt adhesive or something i can put on them so they wont come loose every month or so?

Any thread locker (loctite) will not stand up to the heat except for Loctite "red", and then you will never get them out without using a torch. There is a company that sells a special locking bolt for headers, it uses a c-clip and a peice that rests against the header to stop it from turning, but I forget the name of them. Maybe somebody else will remember.
