I need a few turbo gaskets and have been able to find cad files for all but the sr downpipe 3 bolt and 3" exhaust gaskets. I was going to make them out of copper. Anyone have any feeling on them? I know I remember reading that copper wasn't good for exhaust gaskets but maybe they were refering to head gaskets? Also if anyone has cad files on those gaskets give me a shout and if you hook me up I'll make you one. I haven't used cad is years.
