Got anwser from bassani about gaskets

[Ironhead]

this is what i received in letter and NEW installation instruction they say will be added to the srt-10 setup ,,,and i quote

#1-raise & support vehicle
#2-Remove front wheel /tire
#3-Remove inner fender liners
#4-Remove fastner attaching to factory manifolds outlet to exhaust system
#5 remove fastners attaching factory exhaust to cylinder heads
NEXT IS THE BIGGIE
#6 The included gaskets are to be installed in conjuntion with the stock gaskets .Install the included gaskets BETWEEN the header flange and stock gasket :Failure to intsall the gaskets in this manner will result in exhaust leaks
Aint this a kick in the head !! so make sure you have the new instructions when you get headers a lot of them still are on the shelfs out there with the old instructions

Hey easy now! I wasn't saying BS to you. I think its BS for Bassani to supply gaskets that won't work alone.

Yeah, gasketing(spelling?) a gasket sounds like a plan for
disaster. I almost would think it would be easier
to blow out because there's that much more "weaker" material :dontknow:
