No, you were clear Blas... I just wondered if it lasted with the extreme heat that conection sees... That's cool (no pun inteded) if it does...

I've always used the gaskets at the header to sidepipe connection and never had a problem. I also ALWAYS used fresh Grade-8 bolts and nuts every time I change those out too!!! With the extreme heat at the point, it even changes the character/hardness of the nuts & bolts at that connection, and if you re-use them, they WILL loosen up with the second use and you will have leaks.
