Alright with my recent H/C/I i had to buy new headers for the gt-40p heads and they sent copper gaskets with them. We have an exhaust leak and we think that its the gaskets??? is this possible??? we have another set of regular gaskets ready to put on any helo would be nice

A lot of people on here run copper gaskets without a problem... Maybe the bolts arent tight enough?

I put on a nice set of copper gaskets once. And holy crap did they leak, from all over the place. I learned my lesson -- the only gasket I've never had leak is a Fel Pro 1415.

Fel-Pro 1415 and some header studs will do the trick.

Note: the studs probably won't work with longtube headers or P-headers. At least for me, there wasn't enough clearance on the driver side to get the header over the studs. I had to go back to bolts. I have a nice set of header studs now if anybody wants to buy them for cheap .

Mine worked on my LTs. It took a little while but most of that was because I got 12 point nuts. When I do them next, I'll pick up some 6 pointers.

I guess it depends on the situation. I couldn't get the headers onto the studs, much less to a point where I'd be worrying about the nuts. The #5 primary was hitting the A/C canister and that was what kept it from being able to come far enough out and forward to fit over the studs.
