I should mention that I reused the gaskets when installing the headers and the only exhaust modification I have, are headers.

Thanks,

Sorry you didn't get to see my post before you installed yours: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...&postcount=296

I think that you have a leak from re-using gaskets and the flanges on the header may be warped like many others. A bunch of us are getting them replaced under warranty with Borla right now due to warped flanges that cause leaks...
