I dont think that the Gasket maker can withstand that kind of abuse. I personally would get the correct gaskets.

Now. here is the trick. I got mine by calling all the muffler places in town till one of them agreed to sell them to me. My price? $2.00 a gasket. Dealer price? $15 a gasket. Might want to try that trick.

oh thats a good idea. never thought of that. i should just do it right and buy all the parts instead of gutting the cats, but the damn things are clogged! and money is tight when your a musician.

If you can get away with it, gut them. At least your car will run better. A gutted cat is better then a clogged cat. (wow, that sounds really wierd. Hope PETA doesnt come to this forum).
