just ordered my rksport middies off their site for 450+s&h
i think they come with gaskets but are they good enough?
should i just buy some felpro gaskets or use the ones they give me?

 

No i wouldnt use them. Definately get some new felpro header gaskets. Im also getting some 2.5" collector gaskets (felpro).

 

can you get me the part #'s for both the header gaskets and the collector gaskets?
i think i will go with them
i was thinking about it more and i just don't want to take the chance with whatever they give me
thanks

 

fel-pro #1406 and the collectors are #2014 -2.5" and #2001 for 3". I think you'll need 1, 3 inch collector gasket for the cat. Im looking at summit and CMS. Total will be around 30 bucks. Think this is right hopefully someone will correct me if im wrong, this is what ill be getting, but what i get is usually wrong so u dont gotta listen to me

You know that piece in the driver side header. Are you supposed to take that off to fit the header in? Im still confused about this, mine came assembled but looks like u gotta cut some metal to get it off then put it back on when the header is in?? i mean they are 3 piece headers but they come assembled in 2 pieces. Does'nt make any sense to me

 

You can get all the gaskets at Advance or Autozone if you want to skip the shipping/waiting with mail order.

1406's, 2.5" collector gaskets, and 3" for the y to the cat. SuperDave preaches the truth I use 1406's, and Mr Gasket Ultra's for everything else. They're cheap, plentiful locally, and do a great job!

I have RK's, by the way.

You may want to look into having the slip fit part of of the y-pipe welded up after you get it where you want it. You'll see what I'm talking about when you assemble them. I'm not talking about the primary, but the part where the individual collector y pipes merge into. That little bolt clamp set up the have doesn't work very well. It cost me $10 to get them cut off and weld the y.

SuperDave, yes, I took a hack saw to that part of the flange on the drivers side yeader, just cut that off. It helps to have it separated for install/removal/leak prevention.

 

thanks for the replies guys
i might go out and buy the gaskets tomorrow

one more question...
you guys running stock spark plug wire location?
i was searching through a few posts and it basically said you don't need it and i'm trying to save whereever i can so...
what do you guys think?

 

Mine are in the stock location. Some zip ties and attention to detail and you should have no problems. I've never burned a wire.

 

yea, that's really what i want to do is go stock location
did you put some heat sleeves on any? maybe the pass. side?

 

Probably not a bad idea, I haven't tried them out though.

 

I wrapped the wires with taylor fire wrap and they have not burned since. This was only neccessary on the passenger side. The drivers side plug wires are in the stock location and doing great.

 

yea, i'm gonna go ahead and get 4 heat sleeves just for the pass. side when i get the wires
thanks guys
