For those of you that have installed the FRPP headers, I have a (hopefully) easy question:
Did you use the supplied header bolts for mounting the headers to the cylinder heads, or the factory studs? The bolts that were supplied with my headers did not fit the recessed hole in the header flange, so we used the factory studs and hardware to attach the header. Although everything torqued up to specs and appeared to be perfect, I have what sounds like a small header gasket leak on one side.
It could also be a leak from the slip joint collector, I don't have much faith in that being a good leak proof connection.
If anybody has any thoughts or first hand experience on these headers and the above issues, I'd love some insight.
On a related note (no pun intended), wow, this thing is LOUD with the FRPP shorty headers hooked up to the FRPP muffler! I was expecting a little quieter sound from that big box muffler, but apparently it is not much more than an empty box :biggrin
Thanks,
Colin
