and plz find out what he does to "fix" it cuz ive tried everything i could possibly think of and still no luck.. I dunno i did see a 1200 degree exahust wrap up thingy before.. wonder if i could wrap that around the EGR connection. Cuz the 700 degree copper RTV burns off after a couple weeks or one night of running it hard.99\' W68 Firebird<br />SLP Ram air kit,Whisper Air Lid, k&n, 8mm Taylor Wires, Bridgestone Potenzas RE950, BMR Red LCAs, Pacesetter Headers and 3\"in catalytic converter with 2.75\" Flowmaster Cat-back<br /><br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/501008\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/501008</a>

they just used copper RTV and welded it only in one small spot, so it stays tight. they said they could have welded the whole thing, but it kind of cuts off my options for working on my engine, etc, etc and it needs to be able to come off without too much trouble. so that way they would just hack that one welded part if need be.. anyways.. they did a really nice job. i would have done it myself, but i have a one year warranty on my headers/installation.. so why not? haha. drove it this morning and no more ticks! lovin it..

i just dont hope it melts or burns off like you have said it did. only time will tell!Dave:
