What headers? My pacesetter collectors were comparatively short to my old-style QTPs. Now the seal is great, I have an old clamp from the pacesetters and it was haggard as ****.

Do you have band clamps or U-bolt clamps?

Yeah, my FLP's came with v-bands new. I had a different plan so my whole setup is welded flanges with dead soft gaskets. Make for easy modification.
