ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

For all you Megan/ebay header users.....

    you cannot use the stock rings, unless you want to hold them in place while you clamp down on them, because there are no grooves. i did this one time in the past but it was messy, i usually just use sufficient copper silicone instead of an actual gasket that has the potential to blow a chunk out of the side of it.

        Great find man,i will try it out. Quick question guys,i am smelling alot of exhaust fumes in the car especially if i get on it and rev it high...is that what all of you guys are experiencing aswell with the leaky headers? I just wanna make sure that is the problem and not something else.

          that's what I thought.

          I said to myself there's no way those two little rings are going to work.

                I mean, where else are you gonna find a TIG welded stainless header for this cheap? Sure its the lower quality 300 series stainless, so the finish goes to shit quick, but hey just hit with some header paint and good as new. Megan header is probably no better.
                same shit happen to mine, who you gets yours from? mine hasnt had any other problems besides that, no leaks and its been 6 months, also used the OEM gasket

                  My ebay header is fine.
                  Are the ebay headers thinner then a good one? If so would that cause It to get hotter? Mine did seem like it got really hot though...I wrapped it tho and it brought the engine bay temp down a good 10-20.f.

                      i took a sanding block and some $80 grit to the flange, once i saw that both surfaces were flat, put some copper silicone and tada
                      i couldnt stand thast leak dirtying my block

                      also

                      sand a polish the header, and it will last forever (3 years and counting)

                        I bought a full JVT Racing 2.5" SS exhaust off ebay for like $240.00 and the only thing that had the official JVT tag on it was the catback section and the resonator. The header was something generic but it's been about six months and no leaks yet.

                            I read on the site awhile back that a 95 subaru legacy gasket worked good.
