  • Exhaust leaks...dont know what to do.

    I keep finding exhaust leak after exhaust leak with these headers. I ****ing hate them, nothing will go right with them. So far all ive gotten i blood sweat and tears and an even SLOWER car. AND I PAYED FOR IT. Maybe i need new gaskets....

    yeah id probably suggest new gaskets.. Get the gasket from NAPA they are just like the stock one's you also need the high-temp sealant for them. Then install the headers applying the sealant to both sides of the gasket.

      How much you think a shop would charge to get those put on?

          What are just like paper? The gaskets that came with the headers?

            use copper gasket for the sealant.

              if they just have to remove the bolts and move them back enough to replace gaskets, it should only be 60-100 bucks i would think. I was quoted 250 or so for the complete header install. I opted out with my 2k.

                Thanks guys, NAPA is holding the gaskets for me, picking em up monday when I get back from San Diego. High flow cat should arrive while im gone also. Hopefully these gaskets and the sealent will fix the leaks I have, getting pretty frusterated.

                  new gaskets is like installing the headers all over again, might even cost oyu more because oyu have to clean the headers and the head. Brand new headers you dont ahve to clean as much.
