I bought a 2L -6 conversion project that I am completing. It came with headers and a Magnaflow exhaust. The head exhaust port is 32 mm (1 1/4"), the new gasket from PP is 36mm (1 3/8"), the header is 38mm (1 1/2").
The gasket will obviously crush on the head but doesn't look like the copper crush area will contact the rim of the header. Magnaflow web site doesn't offer gaskets (and doesn't even offer Porsche in the drop down). PP only lists the one gasket size and isn't open for calls yet. Option A: play dumb, bolt together and see what happens... Option B: clean up road grime and oil from exhaust system while waiting to hear forum comments. Thanks everybody. |

I put my insulation on the cables and oil line instead of the header!
