yea the locking bolts i have are the stage 8 blahblahblah models, they have a half moon sleeve that slips on that fits snug flat side against the header tube outlet, so its physically impossible for the bolt to loosen once on unless it cuts through the header tube haha. problem is... they are 1 inch bolts, and on 2 of the 6 bolts are blocked by the header tube itself, they CANT come out far enough to come out, unless the headers are pulled out at the same time. the other bolt, mounts the traction control unit (i think i forget) and they dont have a locking bolt that long.

other then that the front most one is easy (the one i did lol) and the rear most, but thats hard to reach, at least enough not to be able to put on the locking sleeve and half moon piece unless the motor was out of the car.

annnnnnnnnd... thats only the drivers side. the passenger side, i can only physically see 2 of the bolts, let alone get a tool down there... and far from a torque wrench, with any combo of u joints and extensions haha. maybe with six hands the size of a small child, some lube, and superglue on the sockets............ but yeaaaaaaa. im done with this attempt. yet another simply thing turn horribly ugly multi hour job thanks to stupid design.

but seriously, if anyone has these headers, and knows any tricks or has some custom tools and is willing to do the work, name your price.
