Default Locking bolts for headers?

Anybody know where I can find locking bolts for a pair of headers? I'm installing them on Saturday

Thanks

Agreed. Stock ones seem to be fine. Never heard of anybody losing any yet.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. Would it be ok to use locktite on the OEMs?
I've done headers on my other cars and the bolts always loosened up after a year or two

I would not use Locktite on the header bolts. The Nissan exhaust manifold bolts are very susceptible to breakage with age. I have had 2 tips twist right off the ends of the studs when I was removing them....on a 6000 mile motor.

ARP as well as Breslin Performance Products both make locking header bolts that use a mechanical method to prevent them from backing out. I don't know if they make them for the Z though.
