Default B16A Header Bolts Question (Searched)

Hey guys, lookin for some help.

I bought a DC Sports - HHC5604 header to replaced my cracked stock manifold. I am strongly advised to buy bolts, preferably allen head bolts. I tried to find ARP bolts but can't find any. I also tried searching some auto sites, but I'm hoping someone in here will give me a direction to get something good for my money.

Thanks in advance.

if you want to get new studs king motorsports sells longer studs, but i would just keep the stock ones there fine unless you broke one...

Would anyone else know where to get allen headed bolts? I wouldn't need longer studs, but I would like to get allen headed.

Well, my buddy is helping me and told me to look for them. He said they're easier to use.

However I'm very nervous about using the OEM's as they are going to be rusty and more than likely going to snap. I can just myself sitting under my car for hours trying to take out a bolt and have no back up plan.

I've used the same header bolts for my stock B16 header, a Megan 4-1, and on my current Profab header. Still fine. Just don't torque the **** outta it

how about getting some knocker loose to spray on the stud/nut, see how they come off? autozone sells the same studs, but not the good oem lock nuts. Blahhhhhhhh fu%k

Anybody know how much the studs and nuts are from the dealer? King Motorsports has the longer studs and nuts for $29. I pickked up a B16 head and it didn't have any studs or bolts, and I would rather have the studs. Thanks.
