Well there are plenty of threads in my case...I have absolutely no idea why (and pacesetter claims the same), but the threads on the header do not match up well to the threads on the AIR fitting. I dont know if its the coating messing up the threads or what, but after finally getting the threads to grab, I had to crank down on it with a huge wrench to screw it down. It gets harder and harder, and i'm afraid to crank it down anymore with fear of breaking the welds on headers....If I could go back, I would NEVER buy from pacesetter again. They may be a good "bang for the buck" header, but they're quality really sucks....I'm hoping I can get a washer thick enough to take up the excess room.

Did you ever run your car with the AIR fittings not completely seated? If so, did it sound like you had an exhaust leak?
