      I blew my stock pacesetter ones too. I replaced them with Fel-Pro metal gaskets coated in sealant. I just used some grade 8 5/16" x 1" bolts from a hardware store.

            Did you make sure that your header-ypipe connection isn't leaking....try adding a few washers on the 2 bolts.

              THE BEST WAY TO TELL where your exhaust leak is... is to seafoam it and watch where the smoke comes out..


              thats what i did.. smoke was coming from between the header, and the head... nowhere else
