I got a catback exhaust from anthony, he put it on with my stock gasket. I was heading home and had some major leakage. Went back to his place, took of the exhaust and the stock gasket was burnt up. He gave me his old one from his 240sx, put some gasket seal on it, installed it, and it was good... for a while. I'm guessing its burnt up again, and I got some major leakage because I can't stand at a light with my window down, major head aches from the fumes. (HS header, no cat remember) Is there anything more durable then the stock gasket? The stock looked preaty ****ty. I know if I go to my local auto parts store, tell them my car and year, they will just give me another crappy OEM gasket. Theres gatta be something better, and if there is, what do I ask for/part number? maybe a new OEM gasket would work, but still, it seems kinda weak for a used one with gasket seal to leak again.

O yeah, do you think flames could be seen from my exhaust at night? :ylsuper The burn marks on the brunt exhaust gasket looked like they were from flames. That would be nice as hell if I got small flames coming from my exhaust at night when I hear that "popping" noise after hard acceleration. I've seen motorcycles on the highway spit out small flames from their exhaust, sort of like the turbo cars or rally cars. The exhaust pipe is very straight, nothing blocking it (cat or anything) and an open b3 muffler at the end
