I would install new crush washers if it were mine. Did you call Z1 and ask if they were supposed to come with the kit?

With the good weekend and if wanting to ride, I would put that header on there and tighten it down. It's not that big of a deal to take it back off and beats having to wait for parts if that is all you need.

You can also put a bead of some good RTV on each pipe and install it. A lot of the Mustang guys(not me, I am Chevy) use the red RTV on their exhaust connections with good success.
