Default Do I Have To Replace 9 Exhaust Manifold Self Locking Nuts?

Ok I took off my header, and when putting it back on do I have to replace the 9 self locking nuts that connect it to the block, or can I reuse them once and replace them all when I redo the exhaust? Will they still lock, or are they worn out when tightened once?

Just reuse them. It won't be a problem. Never has been for me.

Another vote for re use. RE used them a ton and never had a problem.
