header questions

[blacksvt99]

Install jba shorties and stage 8 bolts on my cobra about a year ago. Couple of days ago I started hearing a exhaust leak I though it was the flange gasket so I replaced it but nosie still presist. So I was use a mirror and a flashlight and started checking the headers for signs of a leak. Came to realize that I was missing two bolts. Has anyone ran into this promblem before?

Sounds like some lock bolts should be put in their place.

I'd try and pick up some replacement OEM header studs and nuts. I put a new header gasket on my drivers side stock header and picked up new stud/nut hardware, torqued them down to spec from the service manual, and so far so good.
