Used an old socket, c-clamp and a hammer to "ding" my tubes inward a bit to make it more socket friendly. Hell, the manufacturer can easily do it if I can do it with such simple tools. Anyways, yeah the fel-pro gaskets are much better than those wicked whites that comes with 'em. You're very lucky you got 2 yrs out of em man. Mine never made it longer than it took to open the box lol.

Guess well see if they last. I know blah blah blah. Don't care, only ones they had in stock and I didnt wanna wait. LOL Didn't pay much as is.

Stock headers no way, with the pacesetters there is much more to the header then stockers in surface area where it seals against the head.
