View My Video @fanaticalz, I noticed you have that same little leak sound around the header. btw car sounds good. I think I just need to go back under an retighten everything again

you mean that like 'blow off / hiss' sound? yeah, it does actually sound like a leak to me now. i didn't realize. i used the small gasket i believe, since the large one was bent or something, i just threw it out.

Yea that's the same gasket I used.. I think it just needs to be retightend or I'll just do what someone else did an take it down to a muffler shop an get them to do it

yeah, please let me know what you find out. i plan on swapping my mid pipe for one with a resonator, and when i do that i'll take a look and check the overpipe bolts. that won't be for a few weeks, so if you find out sooner that'll be cool

Are the gaskets that come with the header crappy and causing the leaking? Would OEM gaskets fit?

What's involved with eliminating the CEL? I'm iffy about a tune BC I don't want my car to get messed up and/or lose my good mpg. Is there any other way?

The best way to eliminate leaking or keeping good MPG is don't do anything, keep it stock, and call it a day.

The majority of tuning options out there will improve the stock tune and MPG. Untuned bolt-one will be the thing that wastes money and reduces driveability.

What does a tune typically cost?

The tuning platforms that are becoming prominent for the '86 are ECUTek & OpenFlash, with BRZEdit and Unichip being more sparsely seen.

From scratch a ECUTek solution is going to run $800-$1200, OpenFlash about $550- $600. The differences between the two are beyond this conversation. I run OpenFlash and am extremely satisfied. ECUTek is awesome as well. Either one will do.

Are there any other ways to fix a CEL besides a flash? I'm not looking to get a few hp for $500-$1000, all I want is no CEL.

I would not do a catless header without a tune. And I would do a tune before spending a penny on a header. . Openflash stg 1 is your best bang for the buck.

You could try the o2 spacer that speed factory sells. My cell already went away

I've read that's just a temporary fix to trick the ECU, which I don't like too much either. I guess it's not worth it to get this header if I just want the boxer rumble.
