Got them in the mail today- sure look pretty. Have a few questions for those who have done this before:
1. Ive read that i should have them melled w/ the intake manifold to make sure they are the same width to get a proper seal. Will this destroy the finish on the mating part/head of the header? I assume it will- does it matter?
2. Im putting the remflex gasket on-- with a gasket this thick do i need to do the melling still?
3. should i use any sealent around the gasket or just dry?
4. should i coat the Y pipe with some ceramic exhaust paint? Is there a place that can do this professionally? I love pretty undercarriages.
5. do i need any sealent from the y pipe to the header?
6. Any other tips/tricks to doing this? i have the fluid heat riser going in as well.
Thanks for any help i will be sure to post pics of the install to help anyone else out there!
