That is a pretty comprehensive write up, you should be fine.

I didn't need to massage the skid plate for my install YMMV.

From memory one or two of the nuts where the header meets the heads won't be accessible easily with a torque wrench. Getting the exact torque isn't critical though.

I was able to re-use existing hardware with my installation but I live somewhere that never snows so again YMMV.

As mentioned above you will need a tune with this header. I haven't seen an OFT optimised tune floating around so a reputable Ecutek tuner will be the way to go. If you are getting an E-tune make sure your tuner has tuned a car with this header before as the cam timing needed for it to run well is unique to this header.
