It should have a ball socket. Make sure none of the ball is messed up. I have zero problems with mine.

since it keeps leaking at the same stop. passenger header, where the collector and mid pipe meet, could the header had cracked in the top??? thats the only reasoning behind all of this . the prochamber is good in the flange so is the header!!! the only thing i could think off is the header cracked wherethe pipes meet. what do u guys think???im a take the header off tomorrow to inspect it, BTW they are factory headers.

well i took the header off and found a hairline crack inside where all the primaries meet.and theres a visible pin sized hole from the outside.could this be making so much noise :dunno: with the prochamber it leaked , and when i put the stock one back one it got worse!!!!! when i turn the car on, i put my hand and it feels where it makes the connection but like i said i did everything and it wont stop leaking.could it be this hairline crack??? theres a lot of pressure going on so it could be fooling me that i feel the air by the connection??? what do u guys think???

exhaust leaks are Crazy things...When my headers were leaking everyone tried to tell me I had a spun rod bearing.

just use high temp silicone around the joint, or a proper sized doughnut gasket or take it to an exhaust shop who will fix it for like 40 bucks.

Mine leaked before there was nothing I could do the shop had to heat the pipe up and bend it a little bit to get it to fit perfectly.
