Hi Derek,

I'm not exactly sure I understand what you're asking about. I have TPIS headers, but I don't have any gaskets around the collectors. My headers have a slip-fit connector at the collectors. There is an H-Pipe that comes with the headers that I had welded to the stock exhaust and cats. The collectors then slip into the H-Pipe without any gaskets or clamps of any kind. It seems to be working just fine for me. Maybe TPIS has changed their header design?

- Mark

Yep, mine are like this too. Sure they are TPIS and TTS?

I am almost certain they are 3". Check out Tom Byrne's website under exhaust and it states the collector is 3".
