Getting ready to install the Barkers and I have a question. Do I need to put the stock head pipe gasket on with the Barkers? Its the gasket between the head pipe and the head. Thanks Tony

Yes, otherwise you will have leaks.

Thats what I thought. Thanks

Notice once I got them (Barkers) out of the box that there was no clamp or spring for the tail pipes. I thought there should be so I looked at me Raptor Rally LS pictures and sure enough should have some. So I quickly called TRF and they are sending them out. Thanks TRF Oh by the way the port job looks good also. :thumbs:

Everything is coming together rather nicely hope to put a fire in it in a couple days.  :nod: :nod: :clap: :clap:

got any pictures of this gasket as i don't recall having to put anything on mine when the barkers went in?

If it didn't come out w/ your stock exhaust they may still be sitting in the head exhaust ports. they are little copper o-rings.

I would suggest just replacing them. They are VERY cheap from the stealership even. that way you can ensure a toight like a toiger fit and no leakes. :thumbs:
