Did you weld your headers on or bolted them on?
I just ordered my fa20club catted headers and am just curious.

I dont feel comfortable doing something that will render me unable to go back to stock.
With that being said, I "will NOT ever, ever, everrrrr" weld my headers. WeeeEEEEEEee will never ever, everrrrr, weld our headers....

There are body building forums for that kind of thing...
And definitely weld them. Its the best way to ensure a total seal to the block. Disclaimer: Information above may not be accurate or advisable in any situation

That's just plain insanity. Welding them to the block. I was just bicurious because I've seen people weld them to blocks, which I find crazy and wanted to know if bolting them on will be as safe

if I were you I wouldn't buy just headers, I would look for headers already welded to the head so that then I could simply bolt on.
now, since you did buy specific headers already I beleive you should follow what the manufacturer says and if you are not sure, you'd be better off asking him than making a whole thread (although in this case I really appreciate it as it does make my commute this morning so much better) please let us all know if fa20club says you should weld those |

Welding headers on is just stupid. I would suggest brazing, and/or zip ties.
