Just installed PLM header
I'm getting a crazy exhaust leak from it where it mates to the test pipe. I installed the donut gasket they supplied but it was too small. I replaced it with the gasket from the stock header. That made the leak a little better but it's still there. Anyone else have this problem??? What can I do to remedy it?

We got varying degrees of leakage from one of the extractors we received too. Gasket sealant (i.e. from Loctite) may help. We also shaved the gaskets so that the surfaces were as smooth and flush as possible.

It's just the ring gasket that goes on the piece that slides into the test pipe. I will try some Loctite Gasket sealer on it in he next day or so. Shitty I have to drive around with this nasty sounding leak.

I have this exact same problem, along with many others. Use both donut gaskets to get rid of the leak. I stacked my OEM & PLM gasket back to back and have no leaks whatsoever.
