Just installed my Clifford shorty headers and cannot get #3 cylinder sealed properly. Tried double gasket on this tube but no luck. Any suggestions? |

I am just drive like this for a while and put the stock exhaust back on to continue on my project.... |

i have the same problem with mine, except it on cyl. 4. i have the stock intake still and i account the leak to difference in thickness between to two manifolds. mine is still leaking and i plan to fix it when i put the clifford 4-bbl mainfold on. zedpapa |

My #1 ... or was it #2 was leaking. I called clifford about it and they advised to cut the flange, between the two tubes. This worked for me - guess the flange was warped a bit. |

Cut flange between cylinders 2 & 3. For now leak seems to be sealed, only time will tell I guess. Thanks again! |
