hmm never had a prob with mine(though the Pro-Fab). did you square the gasket as best you can before you put it on? looks like the #1 runner is way right of the runner:beer:
thats how mine looked the whole time i had it on the car when i had the jrsc on there. now it has warped between the 1 and 2 runners. I still havent gotten around to replacing it yet, I have a side project lined up for it while I have the intake mani off.A bit too late, since you're replacing, but here's a pic of mine on the JRSC:

when i installed it back when i had the jrsc on the car, there wasnt a whole lot of threads for the nuts to grab compared to the stock intake mani. i did manage to get it on there with no real issues. the charger remained pretty cool with it on there. i unfortunately didnt have an oem intake mani gasket on before i put the charger on so there is no real information for me to compare. it did manage to stay pretty damn cool though.I ordered one for my JRSC but the guys that installed it said they couldnt use it because it was too thick and they couldnt get the bolts on the manifold studs. Did you guys expereince any problems installing yours? Aside from the warping, do you recommend the gasket for SC? My charger gets pretty hot, im sure it still would even with this gasket, but id atlest expect it to be a little cooler.
They replace the studs on the engine's head?PianoMan said:The guys who installed mine also had an issue getting enough thread grab with the studs, so they replaced it with bolts and torqued them down. I brought it back to have it checked at 500mi, and they're holding down tight.
I didnt have to replace the studs on mine when I originally installed it.They replace the studs on the engine's head?
I'm planning on putting this gasket on. It is 4mm thick! So I want to check that I can put back the nuts.
