One of the best "Header" mods is to fit stainless steel studs(not bolts) in the cylinder heads. Inexpensive kits on EBay.
Like this but check correct size first !!!

and use appropriate threadlocker in the cylinder head and a removable high-heat version for the nuts.
The exhaust flanges benefit from a s/s +Nordlock retrofit if you are in a climate with lots of salt. The triangular flanges have press-fit hardened bolts which rust and are extremely tedious to drill out when they break.
