No - Speeddaddy
I think you should say post brand too
08-09-2010
Of the two sets I've had....no
Pacesetters and ZZP.
08-09-2010
ive had two sets of headers.
TOGs: these leaked, but that's because the flanges were warped from the previous owner tightening them down too much and oval-ing the flanges.
S&S: these never leaked one bit and were easy as hell to install.
08-09-2010
No, SSAC. Band clamps and copper rtv.
08-09-2010
Nope mine don't leak at all, even when the clamp broke off :P
08-09-2010
YES on SD headers, but was a personal choice. I wasn't sure the RTV would last enough or be as good as welding them.
08-09-2010
partially welded pace****ters.
Still suck.
Thinking of ZZP's...

No i did not have to, but need to or do something different. They are SSAC and leak at the rear.

Nope had TOGS when they still had their life time warranty. Perfect fit. Friend in town still has his no leaks out side of down pipe from RAT.
08-11-2010
no, ebay SLP knockoffs-no modifying needed, just a little difficulty getting the rear header to slide into place
08-11-2010
I voted yes, but I welded mine by choice. I have pacesetters. They don't leak one bit. I did away with the paper gasket on the 3 bolt flange for a copper crush gasket.

NO SSAC's I used Mega Copper RTV from O'Rileys and the included clamps. NO LEAKS! If you install these correctly you will be fine.
08-11-2010
TOGs, no welding
08-11-2010
SSAC No leaking anymore. Had to weld the test pipe in. Anyone have to beat the tunnel cause of the o2 hitting (if you are lowered) ?
08-11-2010
I relocated my bung hole... yes I said bung hole.
08-11-2010
My 02 hit the floor board, fixed that with the air hammer.
08-11-2010
No but it is SOooo close.
If i use the short dogbones this happens...
About leaks, i have a couple because the crush clamp crushed the inner pipe (this means i cannot remove the pipes) so i have been debating welding it..
with mega copper RTV actually stand up to the temps if i can get some in the joint?
