Default I need some exhaust gaskets and bolts.

William,
I’m looking for a good after market collector gasket for the header, the factory gasket is just a thin metal gasket. I’m looking for something a little thicker and a good set of bolts to use. The one’s that came with my CFM high flow cat are a little short. They don’t let me use the lock washers.

I have all the VF mounts on the car and it really vibrates a lot. The bolts keep loosening up. If you where to have a bolt gasket set for under $20.00 dollars I’m there.

I would prefer the gasket was metal and asbestos, then I wouldn’t have to worry about the gasket burning up.

Then again I haven’t really taken a look to see what’s out there either.

Also, back in the day FC played around with different size pipes for the SVT header. I’d really like to see some with 1 5/8 diameter for the pipes. With a nice coating and egt bungs on each pipe.

I not sure how many you’d sell. I’d spent my money if you did make one, as I really like the high flow cat. Not that it’s on the car now, but every time it goes to the dealer I install it.

I understand that the Svt stock headers are pretty good, but that’s on a stock car, looking at some of the flow number from the new heads out there it mite be worth it to see what is missing.

I’m running the PW BBK and the CNC head and cam package from the UK. I’ve seen good improvements with exhaust changes. With the ORP and Borla exhaust the car not only sounds good it breathes better. I had to rework the tune after installing them as the air flow per minute increased.

Which leads me to believe that a larger diameter pipe in the header may yield more flow improvements?
