Exhaust manifold gaskets

http://www.flex-innovations.com/gasket.htm

In case nobody has posted a thread about this product..........click on the url above. I used that for a turbo to downpipe gasket on a TurboII and it works so far. Only been a week though. Cheaper than a factory gasket by far.

I used something like that when I was putting my exhaust system together.
I made gaskets for the Pipes,and it holds up just fine and dandy.
I experimented with it too,by trying to light it on fire!..haha..It didn't Burn!

i would wait to see how long it lasts before giving it the thumbs up.

exhaust systems on the turbo rotary are a very harsh environment to say that something will work for the longhaul as a replacement. usually the specs i see for products i halve them, because most companies inflate their specifications to sell products.

i have used the non turbo gaskets on turbo cars but i will tell you, once a leak starts to form it turns into a snowball and then blows out like crazy. they sealed up fine for a good while though but in the end you get what you pay for. i have yet to really see a stock turbo gasket blow out with fickle leaks like are present around the manifold to block or manifold to turbo, especially with small hariline cracks which will eat up the multi layer graphite or equivalents without hesitation.

I tried some of that stuff to make gaskets to go between my downpipe, silencer and y-pipe. It didn't take long for pieces for flake off and cause leaks, so I ended up just buying some gaskets from Racingbeat.
