Ya I used a new set of OEM gaskets. Hopefully the bolts just came loose and I don't have to replace a gasket already.

I've seen a few mcguivers get some bolts out using magic and a kit, but it'll make an annoying situation into a shitty one very fast. Older header torque spec was 18ftlbs. Sounds awfully low but hopefully someone here who actually used a torque wrench to end their LT install can chime in.
Agreed. I have heard 18, but also some have said 25 so I'm not too sure.
