i know there is a thing from mr gasket its a sheet u can get i had a leak in my header for my accord fixed it right up it was like 5 bucks for a sheet thats 6 long 2 wide

That is pretty lame customer service.

Nonetheless, he's probably right about exhaust shops having 'em. The other thing to try would be to take the header off the downpipe and see if you can replace the gasket with something else.

As I remember, the gaskets usually soft aluminum o-rings that you could probably find at a hardware store. If not, you could try shaving a gasket to fit out of bulk gasket paper/metal.

Good luck with it. You'll probably need some creativity if the muffler shops can't help you.

i bought this for my f22 header and it lasted like a week. The only thing i could think of would be a muffler shop if there is one in your location. if not take ur gasket to advance and tell them to match it up. they matched mine to a probe/626 motor and it work perfect til i got my new header

this would be very hard to remove wouldnt it? like if you bought a new one how would u get it out?

[cb7don]

if i use the copper sealer do i still use my old gasket or toss it?????

[Leung]

if you think you could reuse your old gasket, i'd try.

but when i installed my megan racing header for the F22, i just used the copper sealant by itself and it's never leaked on me, yet.

[JDMchristian991]

i made myself a gasket.... try it..its not that hard

thats where a cutting torch would come in handy..
or you could remove the motor. but why would you want to change the header AFTER fixing it

It is a bitch and a half to get out. When I did my F22B swap one of the bolts that connect the header to downpipe froze up and another broke in half (bottom and top broke off so I had a piece of the bolt locking the header and down pipe together )we had to pull the header as one piece while maneuvering the engine out. NOT fun!

Leave your old gaskets in there. Go to orchard and get some copper shim stock. Cut out a gasket to fit the flange and sandwich it in there.

i blew my megan gasket since i didnt have my header bolted down all the way. i took it to an exhaust shop and he put some red goop on the gasket and no problems since. (this was over a year and half ago)

People around here work on their cars a lot.

I've had my header off countless times this year and I never would've foreseen the need to have it off.
