I am just interested in the header install, not the complete exhaust. Problems could show up at: headers to engine, headers to steering knuckles/shaft, o2 bung locations, clearance around starter, etc.
Sounds like most are happy with the header fitment. Verdad?

you'll need to update your tune, not sure what manifolds you have now.

Headers were cake. No issues at all.

The only issue I ran into was the locking manifold bolts I used fit real tight into the heads. Had to run out and buy a tap to chase the threads. After that, no issues.
One more thing that wast really a problem but is worth noting is that one of the driver's side primary tubes juuuuuust clears the steering shaft. So close in fact that the shaft rubs on the heat tape I wrapped the headers in but not the tube itself. Some fine, close tolerance craftsmanship indeed!

Eaton swapped summer/fall 2015 with all the gooddies, tune by the one-and-only Marty-O +2psi pulley, Steigemeyer stage 6 port, SWLT, custom ss exhaust, Borla ProXS, Addco sway bars, TCE s/s brake hoses, Hawk HPS pads, Zack big brak kit, J-mod, battery in trunk, full custom audio (never used, blower whine sounds better)
To do list:
HID headlights, LED interior/exterior, courtesy "3-flash" turn signals, widen wheels, rear deck wing, marauder stencil on cmhsl? bumper cover inserts? deck lid, steering whee, hood liner godshead, more power!
I used new factory studs and nuts and factory gaskets. Absolutely no need for locking nuts.

You may have to grind a little metal off the steering shaft. Mine rubbed on the header.
I had to replace drivers side motor mount. At 100k+ miles
