    Possible Header Leak, help needed.

    Hey guys, I've been away for awhile but now I'm back I need help w/ a question.

    I'm about to purchase RKsport Headers. I know everyone has had problems with the two bolt flanges warping and causing leakage. What is the best way to fix this? I need to have the two bolt flanges cut off and three bolt flanges welded on correct? Is there a thicker gasket or another way to fix this?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Just get stock gaskets from gmpartsdirect. This was just talked about recently. Do a search and i'm sure the correct part number is there. You may also want to weld the header to y-pipe connection.

      Hey whats up I installed headers but i welded mine from the header to the Y-pipe. I prefer not bolt on because of the problem it may leak. Anyway here is my web page http://members.cardomain.com/2001v6power [img]graemlins/fluffy.gif[/img]

          I don't want pacesetter headers. I'm going to get the rksport ones. I just want to know the best way to stop any leak problems.
