Default I need 1 header :lol:


I need a drivers side Dynomax ceramic coated header to fix an exhaust leak. Does anyone have an extra, or does anyone need a passenger side header? I know it's a wierd request, I'm hoping I can either find one or sell the extra. I hate having to pay for 2 of them.

Have you tried explaining the situation to dynomax directly? They may be able to help you out with the purchase of a single header.

It's leaking from the head in between the header and the gasket. I think it was a small leak that warped the header and turned into a bigger leak. I will see about purchasing 1 header...don't think they will help me much though.

Try a set of these first:

They seal great even with a bent flange like I have. :thumbs:

Did you try :smash: it? :lol: :D

Can a header flange not be 'adjusted' to be flatter?

well I guess I could try to hammer it flat again, might save me some money. The problem is, the paper crap didn't seal and developed a leak which warped the top mounting plate and I drove it around too long with the leak. I tried putting better gaskets in and it still leaks. at least it's the drivers side, which is fairly easy to pull.

How bad is it out of square?

Maybe try cutting the flange in half, that might give you better sealing.

I think Redvetteracer has some ideas on this subject.

Hell, he may even have spare headers sitting around.
