Header leak
Might want to get ahold of Kooks since SUX2BU said his came with them. If you can't get ahold of them directly, call one of our sponsers and see if they can help you get a set. Calling the place you bought the headers from would help too.

Has anyone on here used Percy's carbon header gaskets?

Not to hijack, but I just replaced my gaskets back to OEM with pacesetter headers (I've been thru felpro and mr gasket) and i still have the most annoying hissing noise ever. I hate taking my headers off all the time...
Just how thick and how nice are these Percys? Will they stand up to n2o abuse?

That's right, but it's a pain. especially getting the holes too line up again properly - a downside to having all your stuff welded on
(think weight...)

(think weight...) lol @ the phone book. A chunk of 4x4 works well too.
I ordered a set of Percy's carbon gaskets ($15 from Summit). They should arrive tomorrow. Here's the manufacturer's description of the part:
