Exhauast manifold/header leak?

[Airborne]

So after I threw on the header from ottp I noticed there was a nice little leak happening where the flange bolts on. You can see my opinion on the quality of the OTTP header elsewhere on the forum. Either way I am stuck with a leak now.

Yes it is very very small but also very very annoying on initial startup.
I started to do some research around the web and ran across a "remflex" gasket. I was intrigued by their claims I researched around the web and besides the WRX guys running too much boost there were nothing but great things on how they work. I contacted them and they said they would start making some for the I5 as they had nothing to date. SO if any of you out there with an I5 have a leak and the cause is the manifold is not sealing up near the flange these MAY help. They just went live on their site today and I just placed my order for mine.

I have zero affiliation with them and haven't even used their product yet. I just thought I would give you all a heads up in case you had a similar issue. I thought it was pretty neat that a company would do this from a single request.

Edit: DUH.... Here is the link

Nice, always good to have options. I eventually want to do a turbo so im sure these will work great

Cool, hope this does the trick for you. Unfortunately, my leak was way more than a gasket issue.

Ya I remember your manifold was cracked where mine was too. "Part" of the reason I was getting the header.
But I changed one leak for another.
Hopefully this fixes it.

Btw I don't know if I told you but I got the shirt and stickers! I was just expecting the shirt so the bling was a very nice surprise!!!
