Did you reuse your gaskets? I ordered new gaskets for all 4 ends for just under a hundred bucks! I rather not have to go back in there for a leak because I was to cheap to spend another hundred bucks.
Thanks for the taking the time to post your experience, and I can't wait to hear how the DT perform.  |
I am not a mechanic nor an expert my any means and learn by trial and error; I can't see a shop doing it a whole lot different than what I did; not sure if being on a lift would help...I used the stock gaskets as they are the multi layer thin metal ones that should last a while; there are not gaskets between the header flange and the H pipe and there are metal O ring gaskets in between the H pipe and the cat back..since I hvae 2400 miles on the truck I assume the gaskets are fine and did not buy new ones.
