Hello,

I purchased and installed xs powers about 4 months ago. last week i noticed a clicking noise when i accelerate. this is apparantly due to a leak from one of the gaskets. has anyone else had this problem. where is the best place to get a replacement gasket? please help. thanks

 

May want to check this thread out....

Also the 2 links in the FAQ...

And lastly do a search for "headers"

 

i bought 2 OEM gaskets from www.oemacuraparts.com, came out to about $40 for the both of them. you can always reuse your original gaskets too, they are probably still in better shape/quality than those foam filled ones from XS.

 

ok i am confused. my mechanic says that i need to have the same gaskets that came with the headers. ive read on here that everyone preffered to use the original gaskets, but he says if i use them i will not be happy. wtf?

 

what's his reason though ? the XS gaskets can be leaky, and that is a fact. they just aren't made to the same quality as OEM compression gaskets.
