After fighting for 2 hours, I have the passenger side manifold off and out..... along with the y pipe. The passenger side OE gasket looks good, so I am wondering if I should reuse it or go with the gaskets that came with my bbk headers?????

Thanks

btw..... will post sound clips tomorrow.... BBK headers, ORY into SLP LM2 dumped at the axle.

 

I would reuse the stock gaskets if they are good

 

If those BBK are paper do not use them. Re-use the stock gaskets.

 

Headers on (with stock gaskets... thanks to all) with ORY pipe. Wouldn't you know the Y did not reach the I pipe!!! Butted right up to it though.... Get a 3" clamp and too big Go back and get a 2.5" clamp (these are 40 min trips btw) and it is too small!!!! Dammit. Got it rigged up and have a date with the exhaust shop Monday morning for a coupler to be welded in. Sounds great... even with the leak.

Will post sound when all is well

Later
