Headers

[Nawlinssaints1]

Are exhaust flange gaskets needed on the 19 Ram 1500 Classic 5.7? I hope I am describing this correctly. I think this joint is between the collector and the cats. Do these gaskets go bad frequently? Had a smoke test done, mechanic said a leak was coming from around the converter. Only other place I could think of. Hear a leak at acceleration. BBK headers installed a few years back.

Check them for cracks,as BBK's are famous for cracking,and are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to quality.

Yeah, its likely they cracked somewhere. I assume they are shorties. We recommend the AFE shorty headers. Let us know if we can help. Message me for more info or a quote
