fixed the header, lost the power!

[Domindart]

I had a loose header flange I finally fixed.  Bought new bolts and tightened it all up.  Header is tight, power is gone lol!  It used to sounds louder too!  But now its smoother... anyways...

Maybe when it was open at the head, you bent a valve ...
OK, maybe rats got in your exhaust and made a nest ...
OK maybe the free flowing nature of the leak helped flow, but now it has to work like stock.
Cool.
