    Had a duh moment...never mind...
    « on: June 29, 2008 - 09:58:48 PM »
    Headers seemed to not fit well as to port sizes...but the gasket was cut poorly not the headers...

    If they fit then I would say no.  A lot of times for performance work, the exhaust ports will be opened up to better match the headers.

    Its not such a bad thing if they were a little bit bigger, but you certainly don't want a step smaller.  Sound like some pretty junky headers.

    Gaskets were poorly cut.  header tubes aren't the best as far as the size and shape of the opening but they aren't as bad as I made out....they'll work.  Gonna cut my own gaskets...

      looks like the headers are for a 273 and the gaskets are for a 360.....     :2cents:
