Another header question?
For those with headers. My downey headers are leaking. They leak where the exhaust pipe slides on the end of the headers. I have double clamped them and they sill leaking. I can tighten them up and they are fine for a week or so then leak again. Has anyone else had this problem? Any easy solutions other than welding a flange and making the pipe and header bolt together.

Yeah thought about that as a last resort option because I don't want to have to get the saw out if I need to remove for some reason.

I'd have to agree... get them welded. If anything they can just run a pipe sleeve over the cut and weld that together.
Don't really think you have all that many good alternatives.

Mine are welded at the collectors but the crossover pipe is flanged and bolted in. I had reocurring issues with leaking, but I went to copper gaskets and haven't had a problem in months.
