Should we run to the nearest Acura dealer and order 2 set of Headers Gaskets?

I still wonder if they caused my loss of hp.
Actuator was checked on the dyno. It worked fine.

This can will spray a big " harmless cloud" over the headers if there's any leak while reving... you will see the flow of air gasing out and distoring the cloud... same as in wind tunnel...

My mechanic at Acura of Memphis insisted on using the OEM J32 gaskets instead of the OBX gasket 
There is a definite "resonance" in the exhaust, but not from an
exhaust leak here... 2.25" from resonator, Y, and a pair of magnaflows

damn, this got me thinkin if i shud buy obx or save up for comptech.
typeR, i agree w/ you fuck dyno's just go to the track
jimmy col, you have to consider the temp differences from your 14.8 to the 14.3, if you go to the track when its 70 ish w/ the same setup i doubt you'll run a 14.3, thats just the truth
and to the one newbie, 260 hp is at the crank, dyno measures power to the wheels, the average auto dyno's around 200 hp and manual @ 220 hp, this is due to drivetrain loss

"AUTOMOTIVE STETHOSCOPE, THE DOCTOR'S IN!
Everyone in the office laughed when they saw me head out the door with these things hanging between my ears! A grinding metallic noise, which had puzzled me for weeks, was quickly diagnosed as a faulty smog pump. While I was under the hood, I poked around here and there and could hear all of the valve tappets, intake and exhaust belching, fuel pump, etc. This stethoscope is a fantastic tool; buy it and those around you will really think you've gone off the deep end. Made in the U.S.A.
http://www.griotsgarage.com/search.j...t=+stethoscope
$16.95
Or get some plastic or rubber tubing and a length of thin pipe...

Have I tried it or had someone use it that I know. No.I've been a "fan" of the "home brew" stethoscopes. If the radiator fan(s) are going, that smoke isn’t going to find a few tiny puffs coming out of the exhaust gaskets.
IMO, it might be worth trying for “enclosed” locations where it might be impossible or difficult to get a “probe” into
