Did the Stainless/Nickel Plated headers on my truck 5.3 worked great no real issues to deal with make truck sound better, I went a purchased a stock doughnut seal and used it, also got stock metal manafold gaskets to use thought they were a bit better then the ones from e-brock. I also purchased Stage8 locking bolts would highley recomend them they work awsome.

I too used GM gaskets on the heads.

I simply used lockwashers on my bolts to resist backing out... put about 3k on them since them (mostly city milage) and not one has backed out. Good cheap alternative.
