exhaust flange leaking
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

my exhaust flange where the cylinder meets the pipe is leaking. you can see oil on the motor and smoke come out upon startup.

i see these billet manifolds on ebay with 2 oring seals. are these better? also ESR has one with an oring seal between the cylinder and the manifold. is this design better than the eaby billet one that uses an oem gasket?

thanks

Yes the billet o-ring one is 100 times better, I have a esr one and it doesnt leak at all. They are defenitley worth the money

so the one with no gasket is better?
