Hey...I believe I have an exhaust leak and would like to get this fixed finally. I am considering the Sprint Kit:

This doesn't sound like a guy who wants to sell his beloved Fiero GT. Hope this means you're planning to hang on to her. Be great if you could find a deal like http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum4/HTML/061199.html - This .

That's what I am looking for...and if I get this leak & clutch fluid dealt with, I'll be keeping her...even new tread:).
This was a great deal...I am willing to buy from FS new, but install in my concern and hope to find help with that. I do want to fix the electrical and have the option to turn on the MSD for autox, but for daily driving there's no need...and kill my alarm. So let's chat soon...Bb ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

my deal was better for the ones i got :) ....30 bucks ...pick a part ...best deal i think i ever found at a wrecker ! but really i really good set of ported and welded stockers will do the trick ..these are not worth the gains for the cash |

I agree, but even if I went to Kool Coat (http://www.koolcoatceramiccoatings.com/headercoatings.html) and get stock ones ceramic coated that's $300, but of course porting prior to which I have no idea what that may be.
These used ones would have been a great deal, but these or the Truleo I have considered for years:). No rush currently and with recent incidents at home with our cat, my budget has had a kick in it's ass!...appreciate more input as it's time to get this done...but I need to confirm the leak is my problem, how best to check this?. I also have a Fiero Store order for a few small items...anyone need anything?

What gaskets would be best with these Sprint headers? ------------- Brian (Bassman) 86 GT Fastback 3.2L 2013 Mazda3 Sport GS SkyActive [IMG]http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u243/Bassman68/BassmanSignature.png"> |

Welding stock ones won't work. You have to remember the stock exhaust manifolds are around 30 years old. Mine were welded twice. Both times they spring another leak within 6 months of "fixing" them. The cost in labour either your own time or a mechanic's of pulling them off, and reinstalling with new gaskets, isn't worth the effort. They will leak again. I say get new manifolds, either sprint headers or some other new replacement exhaust manifold. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
