Author Message   Nemster Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 12:39 am:        I just got some new exhaust gaskets for my 97 S-1 and when I put the header back in place to install the gap is huge between the exhaust port and the header clamp. Is this normal? Should I run the nuts down and tourqe them or is there something I am missing?? I am sure they are in correctly because when I took the old ones out I double checked. Help a brotha' out I wanna ride tommorow!!! Thanks!   Ceejay Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 01:18 am:        Nemster-what kind of header is it, if it's the stock header I am pretty sure the stock exhaust gaskets are right and then they just get torqued down, if you have an aftermarket like the force exhaust you need to get some screaming eagle gaskets because the regular stockers will mushroom out in get into the path of the exhaust. thats about all I know about it though   Nemster Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 01:34 am:        It's just a stock header. I torqued them down per the manual and they pulled in a little more so I guess I will see tomorrow!!! I love those smileys!!   Ceejay Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 01:49 am:        have fun!!! yea these things rock   Nemster Posted on Saturday, April 09, 2005 - 02:16 am:
