    Cool. Could you provide some pictures? What size tube? How thick is the flange? Thanks!

    The picture quality isn't the greatest.

    Thanks!
    Hows the craftsmanship of them? Looks like one of the primary tubes sticks way further out than the rest of them?

    When are you installing? I am doing the header gaskets right now on my car, for like the 3rd time in a few years. If they end up failing again ordering these headers. Haha.

    I have been running cheapo Mr gasket paper ones. Just went with remflex I believe the name is. Heard good things. Also changed the bolts out. So hopefully I have better luck this time

    Although they are pricy and very fragile.. Remflex is the shiznit. I always use them whenever possible.

    I think they look really good. Well made. The tubes are slip fit so they are loose. That is why one was sticking to the side.

    I'm waiting to get a MIG welder. Once I have one, I'll pull the engine, shave the shock towers, and install them.

    I'm planning to just use the copper gasket maker. I've heard good things about it.

    Two questions: Do you have the part number? Will they fit with a z-bar clutch linkage?
