Subject:      S&S Exhaust installation problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I picked up my new S&S kit today.
The parts place gave me a set of manifold gaskets too. (metal on one side,
and softer material on the other.)
When I found the ones that came with the kit (thick and hard, but not
metal, flat edge on one side and rounded edge on the other),
I thought that they were the ones to use, and that the parts place had
mistakenly given me extras.

I have really screwed up on this cause the setup is insanely loud.

I guess I gotta take it all apart, put the metal gaskets in, metal side to
manifold....
But do I use the ones that came from S&S too?
If so, does the flat side or the rounded side of the S&S gasket go toward
the manifold?

I need a drink, I just spent 4 hours doing that, and now I gotta take it
all back apart.
