The flapper box replacements out there are not the same as original. They look about the same but the angle of the outlet is different by 25 degrees.
This may not be noticed by most people because the flexible hose used to attach them to the chassis takes up the difference. The heat exchanger option for my headers relies on hard mounting the flappers to the chassis instead of to the h/e box. The new flappers won't work in this orientation. My wye tube doesn't fit.
