around 35 bucks or SCE makes a copper gasket as well that looks good but haven't heard of anyone running them yet, just people buying them so far as they just been discovered and/or released
if i get the abbott ones do i have to soak them in anything and do the bolts need to be coated or soaked b4 i put them in? On pacesetters is there spots for the 02 sensors on the header? and lastly is the EGR hard to realign?

Do not have to soak gaskets in anything, I put a bead of copper RTV around my exhaust ports, but that's all.
Bolts do not need to be soaked. If you are using the bolts pasesetter gives you, you need to re-tighten them after ~50 and ~100 miles of running the car. If you go get locking bolts, you do not need to re-tighten.
Yes, there is a spot on the Header for the 02 sensor.
The EGR gave me a tough time when I put mine in. Some muscle and Copper RTV made sure it didnt leak.
The EGR is very hard to get lined back up. Some even weld the whole shot on the headers and then put a block off plate on the intake to just get rid of the pain in the *** EGR. No you do not soak the abbott gaskets. The bolts currently in the manifold will be hard to get out so a couple days before taking them out start spraying them with pb blaster periodically. I would get stage 8 locking header bolts while your there. This install is gonig to cost you more than you anticipate and gonig to take you longer than you anticipate. The new headers will come with holes for o2's and most likely your old ones in your original headers will be no good or will be almost impossible to get out so you need to probably get new ones.
Today, the 46-year-old organization performs many services for its members and for the hobby as a whole. Perhaps most importantly, SEMA works hard to protect consumers’ rights to drive accessorized, customized and vintage vehicles. SEMA keeps close tabs on legislators in Washington, D.C., and also in each state within the United States, so SEMA members and anyone who loves cars and trucks can protest pending legislation that might harm our hobby, as well as endorse legislation that’s good for car lovers. SEMA also has helped numerous consumers interact with car dealers, who sometimes try to get away with charging for repairs on a modified vehicle by claiming (wrongly) that specialty accessories have voided its warranty.

i have new 02 sensors i just put in a couple months ago, so that shouldnt be a problem. where could i get the bolts at?
I have had no problems running just regular grade 8 bolts, had to tighten them down every other day after the install, but now they're not really wigging out anymore.
