ya about that shiney header! IT WAS suppost to be a freggin ceramic coated, but then i find out when i leave the shop and ask a couple ppl they say it's just a regular one, and the shop even said it was a ceramic coated header! @!#$in @!#$'s i'm never gonna deal wit that shop again!!!
I would go back and ask them what the deal is. Seein' how you probably paid for a cemeric one correct?
you should do a eco swap like said above.... i bought a brand new gasket from a saturn dealer for mine thats because the chevy dealers around me didnt have any and that saturn dealer had one in stock
... the stock gaskets for the ecos are metal
and work great for headers hehe.... but yea glad you got it back in and that sucks that it broke like that.... @!#$ty....
