DIY: Stillen header installation

Looks like Stillen copied the exact same stock header just in SS. Some guys on the G are seeing lost in torque with them. But +1 for the review

The Stillen and Stock units are not identical.

Any need to reinstall the heatshields, or is the wrap sufficient? I assume for those not wrapping, the heatshields are still needed.

You can't re-install the heat shields. They pretty much get trashed when you take them out.

Not to mention the factory heat shield attach to the exhaust manifolds themselves. There are no mount points for them on the replacement headers.
