I think everyone does it. I know I am certainly guilty of it. (just ask some of my old neighbors.)

That collector leak was super annoying on the way to school this morning, Im definitely gonna need to fix that lol. So far no leaks where they seal to the heads though, which is what I was worried about the most.

Those leaks usually show up after a week or two.

What header gaskets did you use?

The ones that came with them. Not sure exactly what they are, some sort of soft core with a metal laminate or something.

They're stainless steel. Got them off eBay for $85. Despite the installation difficulties, these were definitely a good cheap mod.
