don't anyone feel to bad about not knowing about the tab'es on the crush washers. I called the Dealer I got them from and talked to two mech. and they didn't know eather. I put the washer in with the ears out an it seams to be holding. Went about 20 miles and its holding. When I pulled the old washer out,only found about half of it. The header pipe was suporting muffler and all(sporter mufflers)with no hanger.Rudy
