Re: How long until your headers started to leak?

Ive got a 99 trans am, it has slp long tubes and 3" y pipe, its leaked ever since i got them installed... SLP SUCKS! i believe it mainly leaks because it scrapes the ground all the time.

Re: How long until your headers started to leak?

Mine has started a leak towards the y-pipe/collector connection after about six or so months of use. A little tightening of the band clamp and it should be solved.
