Another Header Question

[slvr06CHARGER]

my dealer is installing my headers right now, but they called me telling me that i did order the headers, but i didnt order the gaskets:knockout:, and that i shouldnt use the stock ones, arent those supposed to be included with the headers, do i have to use the stock ones or i just simply missed that part?:alien:

[TNCHARGER]

They do not come with gaskets...I personally would not reuse the old gaskets....asking for problems..

[slvr06CHARGER]

its the same thing they told me, so i guess ill have to wait and see if they can get a set for tomorrow or my car would be sitting there all the weekend :cry:

[TNCHARGER]

They should have checked before starting....hate that for ya..:(

[slvr06CHARGER]

well i hope my next threat is the "i love my headers" kind and not bad news :dead:

[TNCHARGER]

You running stock catbacks?

[slvr06CHARGER]

yeah but i will replace them soon

[TNCHARGER]

My brother has LT DynoTech headers with Magnaflow catbacks on his RT..sounds awesome...not too loud..just enough to be heard..

[Thunderkiss]

Crappy dealership if you bought the headers there.

If not, shame on you.:grin:

[slvr06CHARGER]

yeah crappy stealership, most of the time they dont know s**t well i didnt know i had to replace them, if i knew i would order those too.

i might get corsa, i dont need the drone, there are only a few chargers in town, and all of them are completly stock so i cant get to hear something different, im goin based on reviews and opinions, some soundclips, and what i can get here.

It's a $1000 bucks you better make sure you don't want to be dissapointed. I was lucky to hear a lot of them before deciding but I was driving all over the place, almost just bought one of the high dollar ones on a friends advice, luckily I got to hear them first because it would have costed me another grand because I would have been that dissapointed

What headers are you puting in?I think the Mopar headers can be used with the stock gaskets.

Mine did no problem

[slvr06CHARGER]

yeah mopar headers, well they said i should get new ones, and i thought if they are the ones doin the install they should know, but they never know s**t thats why i came and ask u guys cuz u know it all, i think tncharger is right, could be askn for problems if i use the old ones, but dont know if thats the way its supposed to be. :knockout:

[Bigphil]

they are too cheap to chance it.

[InferAl]

I thought that was the case and I wanted to order new ones and the tech said, not needed. That was 6300 miles ago

[slvr06CHARGER]

well lets hope they get them quick, i cant wait:grin:

[GoDaddy]

:yes:
The header gaskets are not even gaskets like you would think. They are a double layered thin metal type, not a cork style. unless the stealership bent the crap out of 'em, the stock gaskets are fine to re-use.

in an update to my situation, i got my car back today, it was money well spent i love my headers, buuuuuut... i noticed a few hours ago there was oil under my car :cry: , i dont know where its coming from i thought i was the tranny but it looks like its more in the middle under the engine, i cant see under the car because i cant lift it, but i can tell because of where the oil is and where my car was, im gonna take it this morning to the dealer so they can check it out, any advice?:(

I noticed last week a very small amount of oil under my car, I thought I may have not tightned the motor oil drain plug tight enough (I know my fault for thinking). It was not the case, to me from the place where the spot on the drivway was and how the car was parked, it would seem like it would have been motor oil.
Again not the case, it was the dreaded very common tranny leak. With that under body "skid plate" it covers all of the motor oil drippy spots and with the way the car sits normally if the engine was dripping it would seem like it was dripping from the very front (near the front bumper).
It is a good bet that you have the dredded very common tranny leak.
I was reading on the LX forums that one dude with a Maggie has had his tranny leak twice now, once covered by warrenty and the other time he did it himself (he had over 36,000 and wasn't gunna pay the $275) and did a great write-up on "HOW TO".

this morning i pop up the hood to check my engine oil level and to my surprise, the retards didn't put back my dipstick:angry: so i took the car to the dealer and have them check it. they inspected the engine and the tranny and there was no leak, they cleaned everything, so the theory is the oil came out because they didnt put the dipstick on, and lost 1 and a half qts :sick: i cleaned the flooer and been outside the house checkin under the car all day and there is nothing, i think if there was a leak i should see something like what i saw yesterday.:awkward:

Oh my gosh, I would have flipped out!!! I am glad to hear that you didn't have a "real leak" but I truely would have spun up my @ZZ hole mode, gotten the service manager, the salesperson, the overall store manager and anyone else that was important kissing my @zz to calm me down.
