New use for seafoam!

So after doing the vacuum hose part of the seafoam, I found a new use for it!

Unfortunately that is confirming that I have an exhaust manifold leak. Just another deterrent to my already one month delay putting my Cattman y pipe on. I guess I'm gonna order manifold gaskets, and add that to my list for the y install, since I already planned on gutting the pre's while I'm there.

I also might as well paint the mani's while there off, since they are pretty fugly. Anyone done this?

Useful as a paper weight in my opinion.

I just tried to order the manifold and pre-cat gaskets for my install this weekend, and the stealership guy is saying there isn't a gasket between the front pre and manifold. Is this true?
