    Default Header Gasket issues ..

    I recently purchased a weapon r header for my 07 tC. Im having a small issue with a water leak in the gasket connecting to the S-pipe. From what ive seen its not sitting flush against the pipe. So i called weapon R to see if they had a beefier gasket and they dont..Does anyone know of a place I can get a gasket to fit that piece of the header? Im not sure where..my mechanic said they used to make copper gaskets that would fit in their nicely but...I cant find anything. Help .
    Thanks

    I would suggest your local auto parts store. If you can't get any luck there, you can always take a ride over to the local dealer.

    Nah man the dealer doesnt have the weapon r custom gasket unit for the S-pipe. And the auto places dont have a thicker gasket, their the same if not thinner

    I have never heard of the headers having a custom gasket.
