Can u guys take a look at this
Installed my short shots this weekend and just wanted to make sure I tightened the headers tight enough, since there seems to be a gap between the clamp and the cylinder head. What do u guys think or suggest?
It doesn't sound like it's leaking air but then I may be wrong what should I do

Thanks guys! I just wanted to make sure that I did it correctly cause I torqued it to spec and some and it wasn't laying flat so it kind of freaked me out at first so I tried to fire her up an she sounded normal to me, but it always helps to get a second opinion

Just know that those nuts tend to lose their torque, especially after a new install. I would check them no later than about 500 miles.

Very good to know, I'm definitely keeping an eye on it every time I ride so I'll make sure to re-tighten after 4-5 fill ups

No just exhaust nuts, any other bolts on Harley could come loose due to vibration. Re tighten fasteners is part of schedule maintenance.
This is so true, learned my lesson when my DK AC cover bolt came loose!
