Long Tube Exhaust Leak

[kevin01cobra]

Was very very stupid and used a very inferior long tube gasket. Had a slight leak this morning and now it sounds like I have a hole the size of a grapefruit in my headers. I plan on Seafoaming it to find the exact leak location and how bad it is. What are my options as far as replacing the gasket? Is it possible to jack the engine up high enough to swap out gaskets? I did the LT install about a month ago so I'm not exactly thrilled about dropping the K-member again unless I'm throwing in a tubular K, A arms, coil overs, and new motor mounts(so ~$900).

Stock gaskets. Good luck swapping them in the car. I suppose if you are patient enough it can be done. Just make sure you get all of the old one off. I'd skip the sea foam and swap both sides anyway.

That sucks, but I'd just spring for new OEM gaskets and redo it right, both sides.

Could use FRPP Gaskets. I think they are the same as stock aren't they?

Copper rtv. Always done all my hotside parts on my turbo or supercharged cars. Never once had an exhaust leak.
