How to know if your headers leak.

[tdaddyz]

After using seafoam in my car and loving it a friend here on campus decided to try it as well. We put the seafoam in then let the car sit for about 15minutes then cranked it. Not only did smoke pour out the exhaust, put it was pouring out of the hood as well . Sure enough, we pop the hood really fast and the smoke is coming from one side of his headers [img]smile.gif[/img] .
He has rksport headers that he has had on for about 3months, he suspected he had a leak put now he knows for sure. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

A few members on this board said that in order to keep the rksport headers from leaking, they would have to have them welded to the heads. I don't have headers on my 3.8, but if I did buy them, I'd go with Pacesetter. They seem to have a better reputation.
