Header Gaskets
Alright, so I guess I have the crappy Flowtech headers...I have a bit of a leak - was wondering if a slightly thicker gasket would do anything - probably not, since it will continue to warp, but short of replacing them, what are my options?

Napa sells a special set of gaskets that are made of a diffrent material kinda like copper only these are mettalic in color. They seem to seal WAYYY better then anything else I have used. You have to ask for them specifically other wise they prabably wont pull those for you. I will try to get the part number if you want?
You might also wanna tryu taking the headers off and useing a buffing wheel on them to clean them perfectly before you put those new gaskets in place. this helps a lot

Ya, these have been on for about 6 years now and only became noticeable last summer. I remember the guy selling them giving a lifetime warranty - local speed shop - but I'm sure warped flanges weren't covered. I'll try the gaskets - thanks.
