When I started it, I had a few surprises.

The relatively thin exhaust gaskets (cheap ones that come in an FE gasket kit) leaked all over - the Kirkham headers use individual pipes, and the mounting flanges are relatively narrow. I bought expensive graphite thick gaskets, and that dramatically reduced, but did not eliminate the leak. Given how loud the exhaust is, you can't hear any leak now, but i can see a tiny trace of soot in select spots.
