Is it true that with aftermarket headers your gaskets tend to leak? Is there any way of preventing this? I want to put those pacesetter long tubes on but i dont want to have problems all the time when going down the road

 

Use a good copper gasket and it should be fine. As with any header/exhaust manifold installation, re-torque the bolts after a few heat cycles.

 

most aftermarket and performance mods require moere maintanance.
it's things most of us enjoy
you may want to torque them occasionally

 

i only re torqued mine after a week of driving and havnt had a prob. with the gasket that came with the kit

 

use the factory gaskets, they will last a lifetime
