Mac Headers I Put A Set Of Mac Headers And Y Pipe With No Cats On My 01 Ws6, Now On The Driverside Back I Can Not Get It To Stop Leaking On The Last Bolt And Scared If I Tighten It Any More I Might Braek The Bolt Off. I Put Copper Gasket And Figured That Would Do The Trick But No Luck, The Second Problem Is When I Run The First Gear Out And Let It Drag It Self Back Down Let Say 5500 And Stop There Is A Lot Of White Smoke Comeing From The Tail Pipes Any One Else Haveing This Problem.

What gaskets did you use? If you used a fiber gasket then **** can them and go to GM and tell them you want a set of exhaust manifold gaskets for you car. They are the best hting you can get.
Also which bolts did you use?I would at the least replace any bolt that I might have had a problem with. I personally would want the original style bolt over the ones you get from the hardware store.
Also white smoke is an indicator of burning oil and our engines are nototrios for it. Start searching here for "smoke" and "white smoke" and see what fixes you can come up with.
