Superformance header...gasket or not?

Thanks wanab150!! I will have to order some in addition to verifing if I have the restricted headers or the new style. At this point I can only laugh at the commedy of errors I have experienced with this ownership experience.

As far as an 1/8" my guess it will last for a while. As PANAVIA suggest constant retorqueing will help prevent a leak. Bottom line you got a crappy job on the exhaust header fabrication and as you know the customer pays in the end.

Yes , I think it was an inaccurate build on the headers.

As far as the more restrictive headers, if you have the stock 2" mufflers then I don't think a switch is necessary, however, my Harley has 2" headers and mufflers and that's just for one cylinder.

I think if I had stock Superformance 2 inch mufflers and the older restrictive header I would leave it alone as the change to big headers and 3 inch exhaust only seemed to make a difference above 3500 rpm. It was fast enough before, but I already had the big header so I just cut out the 2" exhaust and added 3 inch "Chambered exhaust" mufflers. Plus, I really just wanted a heartier sound when I did the mufflers in the first place. Like I needed more power?????

Panavia...I bought those bolts with the little half moon and clip.....hope those will work. AND one last question....do you see an issue with the clearance ...would you still use a gasket with that? thanks
