Header quetions
So I think I have a leaking header gasket. I want to order a remflex gasket. Problem I'm running into is I don't know what size headers I have on the car( previous owner installed them) they are coated lg long tubes. The gaskets I'm looking at at say 1 3/4. http://m.summitracing.com/parts/rfl-2066?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KEQiAtri0BRDLo aCF95e7o_sBEiQA_pgRQ19HUlR2wX-G0YJXutpGgEfsGEkyB6AKgGrDXFP8tHcaAhPF8P8 HAQ . Is there any way to check which size headers I have on car? Or will these work on any on both the 3/4 and 7/8.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not tube Dia, but flange that matters. With Kooks headers I used OEM gaskets and stage 8 bolts. (French locks) of sorts
G.M. gaskets much better Quality than Kooks gaskets.
Have to look hard at pic, but they are there .........

Same type of question over on the Z06 sub-forum.
Use AC Delco p/n 12617944 round port gaskets. Excellent gasket and fits all the LS engines.

Just fyi I had remflex gaskets on with my obx headers and they were a pain to clean up after when I needed to reinstall them...graphite everywhere. You'd be better off taking the header off and getting it flattened at a machine shop and using GM gaskets in my opinion.
