Well, I'm a bit bummed.

I was checking my work this afternoon after class and heard a telltale "pft-pft-pft" from the engine bay. I've got an exhaust leak at the header/converter junction on the side next to the block. I fear I have over-tightened and blown the aluminum gasket. I've got an email in to Dan to ask his advice. I'll post again when I hear back from him.
I still love these items, just wish I had not (apparently) blown the gasket.
