I just put on my Powerbomb header pipe and I'm not for sure if it is all the way on. I bolted it up good and got all the bolts very very SNUG but it sounds a little different now. It sounds like air is getting out of the front of my motor but I put my hand there and didn't feel any??? Does the powerbomb header normally sound different???

yeah itd got s differant sound compared to stock. U will see some exhaust shootin out if u got a leak. SOmetimes when u reinstall the header, it wont get a GREAT seal, but it will seal itself up in a few minutes. nothing to worry about

Just make sure the gaskets are still where they need to be. When I swapped my old 300 pipe the first time, I messed up and let the gasket go sideways. I couldn't feel anything either... but it sure sounded bad.

Raptor_02 did you install new copper crush washers between the header and cylinder???? If not you need to get some..there very cheap and must..:cool:

Where do you get these washers Rico? Getting a powerbong from orgeon rider. Are they the stock ones ? Also did yours turn brown

They are the stock gaskets. The powerbomb does make a weird noise, that's because of that big power bomb (bulge) it is normal.
