header pipe leak
hello.....Has anyone had a issue with the header pipe leaking ? I had new Vance and Hines pipes put on after maybe 50 miles or so I heard a chip when ever i gunned the throttle did not know what it was at first , so I took it back to my mechanic he tighten up the header bolts on the exhaust and it was fine for a few miles then again it would do it... so I tighten them all up.he told me that the gasket has to seat but how many times do you need to tighten the bolts?? any suggestions

RE: header pipe leak
I've replaced many exhaust systems. If you use new gaskets and align the pipe properly, you won't have a leak. Once the gasket starts to leak, it's best to replace it. The cost for a gasket is minimal compared to the inconvenience of always having to tighten it.
