Question Header Gasket
I have a pretty nasty exhaust leak, but i am not sure if its coming from the header gasket or the donut gasket at the collector. I was wondering if anybody knew of a good metal header gasket and where i can get one, o and a donut gasket too. If not ill just get in touch with dynatech and see if they cant send me new one, any help will be appreciated.

factory exhaust manifold gaskets are what pretty much EVERYONE uses. search for the part number or check with Scoggin Dickey, you'll find them.

With the car cold (obviously) grab the collecter with your hand and you should feel the exhaust leak if that is in fact your leak. Works great with slipfit anyway!

GM Part# is 12617944. You can find them here:

http://marylandspeed.com/gm-factory-...44-p-1417.html

We have them in-stock and ready to ship. It would only take one business day to get them to you in Maryland, so if you order by 4:00PM tomorrow we could have them on your door on Thursday.
