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
