Blown Header Gasket?

This look like a blown header gasket to anyone?

I can feel exhaust coming out from there so I assume it is blown... again.

I would say so. You should get some percy's dead soft header gaskets with some good locking bolts, I use that on my car and I put the headers in 2 yrs ago and have never had to touch them. Just my .02

I did invest in a nice shiny set of Breslins, never had a problem with those coming out. Is there a period of time that I should let them set in before I start putting the pedal to the floor?

Re: Blown Header Gasket?

Hmm... I had just had my gasket replaced about a week ago... well almost 2 weeks now. The next night I went cruising and racing around with some friends. Next thing I realize, exhaust leak again. Kinda sucks but that's what happens with high performance cars.
