Re: exhaust header q

Due to warping and distortion during assembly, the tubes are allowed to 
protrude and then machined so they are all on the same plane for a good 
fit. The protrusion will sink into the surface of the gasket a bit, just 
be sure to tighten the bolts in increments moving around the pattern 
much like you would any other component that needs to fit flat and true.
