Annoying leak, exhaust gurus inside!!!
Well I'm tired of trial and error, so now I've turned to you guys. I put on a DC Sports header about a month ago. It obviously came with a new doughnut gasket, and of course, I put that on. I checked for leaks, and there is definitely one at that point. It seems like no matter what I do, I can't fix it. What do you guys think?
I know this is kind of hard to anwser, but any input is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Brandon

Phew! I thought I was the only one! I was thinking of maybe buying a more solid gasket? The one they gave me was "meshy." I've seem some even at Advance Autoparts that are metal, and seem a lot more tough.

is it leaking where the gasket is? if that is where it is i think you can use some, i think its called, silicone gasket sealer/maker.

Yeah it is. I pulled the gasket it off, and around one part of the gasket, black carbon was almost completely covering it. I have some gasket maker (up to like 700 degrees I believe). You think that'll do the trick? Should I apply it with everything tightened up?

it should. i have a bolt that snapped where the header meets the head and another where the header meet the downpipe and it seals those spots.
