- Hi all, I have a set of the merged tube CAT headers. I had been warned by a list member that these headers sometimes have leaks and I was cautioned that I should pressure test the headers before havi

- Many header types use slip joints and this presents little problem. When using a product like Cermakrome small pinhole leaks become obvious. These we weld before application of the Cermakrome. The sl

- Thanks! That's what I figured but I have no experience with slip joints on headers. The pin hole I discovered was obviously a leak but the pressure test showed my fix worked there. The only other le

- Hi Frank, I've built three or four tube headers, and the way I always did the collectors was to pinch the four tubes together slightly so the contact points between the adjacent tubes flattened out a
