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.
Shiv have "optimized " tune for JDL but was for UEL... don't know if that tune could work on EL though
