plate between manifold and header pipe
hey group. when i took the intake/exhaust manifolds off my GT today so i can put the motor back in easier, there was just a steel plate between the header pipe and the exhaust manifold with 2 hexagon shaped holes in it for the exhaust to flow through. this restricted about 1/3 of the exhaust flow and there was no apparent gasket materials. is this right? i dought it, in my gasket set i only got a rectangular exhaust gasket with 2 steel rings in it, i assume this is the way it should be anyway. thanks in advance for any input.
