I had the same issue with my BBK LT's and the Short BBK H pipe not lining up. I took my H pipe to an exhaust shop and he spread them out just enough so they would bolt right up. Lucky for me though, he did not charge me any thing to do that.
You shut your dirty whore moufs!
Noobz347 Figured I'd add my .02 as well. I have done both (heating and bending/modding midpipe) and have to say hands down that modding the midpipe is easier.
I cut the each pipe on both sides about 6" apart and bolted it to the collectors then welded it back up. No problems. Heating the pipes took forever and lots of effort. Im all for lazy.
You can also spread the h-pipe your self. Use a cinder block and a floor jack.

Thanks! I've only found one place that has pre-drilled bolts, and they're kinda pricey. I'm an aircraft maintainer as well. I've been wanting to use safety wire ever since I had a header bolt back out from the last set that was on my car.madmike1157

Ok... some quick shots:

This one is for you. They're ARP, 6-sided that I used a drill press to put holes in. This one ended up being too short but the ones I used are just like it (only longer).
Try these header bolts:

Booth from Proform gave me a set of these header bolts to test on my car and all I can say is Dang I'm impressed. They work exactly as advertised. Not once have I had a bolt back out or loosen up. Whatever magic they used to design these things works, no fancy tools required with these either, just the wrench you tighten them with...
It is a fancy lock washer, they can't come off the bolt since the threads are rolled after the washers are installed.Isn't that just a fancy lock washer? They look cool though.

Sounds like a girl I used to know...Any of you dudes ever have a motor that pulled so much vacuum at idle that it made the valve cover gaskets sing?
