Never EVER use those gaskets like that, they are garbage.

 

Explain why? My exhuast gaskets look like they are made out of the same stuff.

 

They'll eventually fail too.

Those gaskets don't take to extreme heat too well. Pay now or pay later, your choice.

 

Have you contacted him before making this huge thread? Doubtful. Instead of slinging his name, see what he says first.

If not, taking it to a machine shop and having them deck the flange, wouldn't cost much @ all, and $80 is waay to much to have someone sand it, lol.

If you can't handle a simple issue like this, you should not be boosting your car, you are only in a world of hurt.

Best of luck.

 

i was gonna say.. OP hasnt even tried contacting pang.. and youre talking all this shit.. the turn around time would probably be a week.. not a month as you would think

 

Ass hats I did contact him. I have emails.

Also, where was I dragging his name. If it was any of you guys not happy with something everyone would jump on the band wagon because you've been here a while and have more money to sling around

I posted up to get opinions. Maybe there is a way to torque it down that I don't know. Stop jumping to conclusions that I don't know anything about this stuff.

Because I don't have some big name/ hp kit it's like I know nothing.

 

I don't think $80 is unreasonable. It took me a while to get mine flat, and shops usually charge at LEAST $40 an hour or so.

 

Get off the op's back guys it should of came perfect and right the first time, HE SHOULD NOT have to go through all this machine shop and gasket replacement crap

 

Dude, the manifold took 5 days to get here once he shipped it. I bet if I send it, guess what... it'll take 5 days to go back. And again... I'd be willing to bet 5 days to come back once he was able to have it machined.

Also, I did contact him, in one of my posts it says I emailed him but got no response. I am about to leave in less than a month for months. I don't know how long I'll be gone. Maybe my wife doesn't want an undrivable car blocking the storage/ attic section of our house...

Don't start crap. Grow up.

 

dont worry about it...your wifes BF will move it for her when you're gone
