header problem.

[f22a1accord]

since ive had my car i've bought two different headers for it. they are both kinda cheap and they keep blowing out the gasket between the downpipe and header. What would be the best way to fix this? Is there a brand name header that has a different type of gasket, maybe one like the o-ring crush gasket?

take the racoon out of your exhaust and BAM! your done.

seems that your creating alot of backpressure to blow those gaskets. Maybe your exhaust system is not flowing right. Check your entire exhaust system starting from the cat all the way back.

thats the weird part, b/c on the first header it kept blowing out b/c my cat was clogged but now i have a ceramic header and its pretty much a straight pipe to the muffler. could it be b/c i need a resonator?

so now your catless? if you still are using that clogged cat replace it. having a resonator would not matter, the resonator just resonates the sound waves of exhaust to tone it down. Also did you do anything to the timing?

I don't think so. If anything it shud have helped it. Did you remove the old exhaust, or did someone else do it for you?

it's the same cat just gutted and had a pipe squeezed into it by my pipe bender. so it's like a straight pipe to the muffler. there is nothing clogging it and i havnt messed with the timing since ive owned the car. i am about to replace the timing belt though

my exhaust is a 2.25 catback system with a gutted cat and ceramic header.

if u are looking for a good header for the H22 contact vteckidd on honda-tech. he is selling 2 styles of H22 headers. one is the "drag" style header and the other is a 4 piece tri-y hy-tech replica slip fit header which requires no gaskets cept for the 2.5" collecter.

[f22a1accord]

imma have to get me a few of those haskets and i might try resurfacing my header too.
