I bought this pipe to replace my existing, identical pipe. My existing pipe leaked where the pipe and header join and made an oily mess whenever I ran the car. I wanted the new gasket that connects the pipe to the header and especially the improved bolt-together aluminum clamp. I was hoping this would stop the leak, but it did not. I have now ordered a one-piece pipe from TIT-Racing to avoid the leaky joint. I hope this helps others.
