Im putting on my headers right now and my primaries are 1.75" and the stock gasket is actually smaller than the primaries....so isnt that defeating the purpose of my larger primaries if the gasket is the stock size any ways...

 

do u have a metal gasket?

 

yah its the stock one..

 

thats wy ur suposed to make ur own gasket, it usually states that in all instructions, also, its like 50 cents for new gasket material, mind u mine came with the gasket materials, but yup defeats the purpose thats for sure, do u have any high temp silicone

 

mine came with no instrucrtions or gasket..any ideas what to do..can i by one with 1.75 primaries or should i dremel the stock one

 

jsut go to an exhaust shop and pick up some exhuast gasket mateiral its like thick, waxy carboard, its what iuse everytime, u just have to cutout urself, and can be done in under half an hour

 

your putting on your header at 1 in the morning? but yeah, ^^^^x2

 

I am pretty sure my mechanic reused my stock gasket. That a bad thing?

 

yah it was the only time i can find to do it..ahah finished at 3 in the moring..i went to walmart and bought a dremel and opened up the whole on the stock gasket cus i couldnt find a stock gasket anywere..and the 2 outside bolts on the top of the header i couldnrt get down all the way...im going to try and get them tonight...

 

only a true gear head, would do such a thing at 2 in the morning....

 

^^^ True that! Props for that! I've pulled an all nighter putting the engine in my Integra by myself! What a bitch, and what a pain in the ass!

 

it truly doesn't affect performance due to the fact that the head still has smaller exhaust outlets than the stock gasket

 

That would limit gains if it's smaller
