I had summit brand headers on my old 94 they were a decent header but the bolts loosen up and you have to tighten them before you drive it everytime or you'll shred gaskets. The locking bolts do the same thing I actually blew gaskets faster bc I couldnt tighten them back up. I was going to spend the money on copper gaskets if I continued to blow them but after a month or so they finally rusted in and I didnt have any more trouble. I also had to get my y pipe modified bc the cups on the y pipe wouldnt seal on the headers.
