Question Exhaust gasket help

I ordered a pair of exhaust gaskets from pineapple racing for my FD. but they sent me 2 gaskets for an FC. I'm wandering if I can just cut the FC gaskets in half and use the sides with the extra hole. Everything lines up perfect. The only differences I can visually see would be the FC gasket is a little thicker(never commpressed) and the width of the FC gasket(it is a bit narrower than the FD one) but The holes still line up just fine and the would still be plenty of material left to seal it. Anyone tried this?

I'll try to post pictures to help illustrate what I'm talking about later.

Thanx in advance!

Nevermind. I just got an e-mail from them. And the issue is resolved.

So could you use the gasket or not?

YES. I won't need to modify it or anything. The small holes in the gasket are for emmission parts. Sence I don't have to pass emmisions I will be fine with or without the holes.

They also have an FC series 4 NA gasket foronly $12.20 I wouldn't be suprised if this one works also.
