Swarm · 04-10-2013, 03:18 PM

it was a mistake and its done now, dont me ask how or why

i am driving the car now for two days and there nothing wrong, no whining or even rasp [installed X-pip]

does that mean i am in the clear? should I worry?

or would it happen in the future?
there is a couple others on the forum used the BBK gaskets on their headers and they are fine too.

No, you're fine. I don't understand why some say putting on the bbk headers is a bad thing. Sure they aren't the best and OEM will be much better but there is nothing wrong with using them.

I used them no issues seem like a decent gasket. Retorque your bolts after driving a few times to make sure they are not loose.

in two or three days, I would check/retighten the bolts. then you are good to go!

I've had mine on with the included gaskets for nearly two years now and no issues.

A lot of Chicken Littles around here.

I am experiencing a terrible whine since I got my headers installed and removed everything that could be causing any vibrations. Now a good majority your "chicken littles" you speak of are vendors.

Just saying that it's not a guaranteed problem like many make it out to be. The gaskets obviously can work just fine in some cases.
