[DeTomaso] Headers to muffler connection

[P. Rimov]

Asa:

Percy's makes a very good flat dead soft aluminum gasket that seals very 
well and is reusable. The same set has been on my car and leak free for the 
better part of 10 years even in lieu of taking the headers and exhausts off 
several times
