Tsudo Unequal length headers
Hey guys, so I just bought some new Tsudo UEL's last week, finally got around to installing them yesterday. Turns out I have a leak from the head of the header to the over pipe. I did not use any sealants, and yes I used new gaskets.
I'm just wondering if anyone else might have the same brand of UEL's, and/or has experienced the same issue? I've heard of other people using two gaskets on each side to fill in the gaps, but has anyone done this on their set up? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Remflex or Grimmspeed double thick gaskets are a must imo when installing an aftermarket header.
I tend to use Grimmspeed since there's more fitment overlap with other Subarus which is my bread and butter.

So just as an update, I was told that because the headers are different size pipes from the head to the over pipe, thats why it's making a leak sound, but its not a leak. There really isn't a leak, I checked myself and there is no air coming out. I know I should change the over pipe, but any other suggestions?
