Exhaust Gasket from header to ex.pipe
 

I am going to replace the paper gasket between my header and exhaust pipe coupler (triangle shape with three bolt holes). I am wondering if you have to use a flat gasket or if you can use a doughnut gasket like they use on ram horns? Those doughnut gaskets seem like they work good.

I got a set of these thin copper flat gaskets I am thinking about trying to seal the suckers up. Are those good to use? If not I'll take them back because they were a little pricey. I'm just tired of hearing and smelling the exhaust leak!:barf:

Thanks everyone!:D

Use the copper or aluminum. I used aluminum, and my flanges are bent at each bolt hole. They sealed up great. Should never have to buy any more header collector gaskets!

Thanks 71Chev

I'll second the dead soft alluminum ones.
I am running the same ones I bought fro an other truck with differant headrs...they been removed and installed so many times it is unreal...and still no leaks.

No need to buy expensive gaskets. If you goop on some RTV on both sides of those paper type gaskets, then bolt it up you won't have anymore leaks and it won't blow out.
