Ok, I'm going to probably have a copper exhaust manifold gasket made up pretty soon, from the dimensions of a stock gasket of course. So, I was wondering who all would be interested? These gaskets seal great as they compress some when they're tightened, and they are reusable over and over again...plus they stand up to high exhaust pressures and won't blow out like others do.

I think the cheapest you can get a stock replacement exhaust gasket now is for around $80 plus shipping from somewhere online...unless you buy a full gasket kit from that guy on ebay for $99+24 shipping and who knows the quality of those gaskets.

So, who all would be interested in one of these?

I'm thinking they'll be somewhere around $45-50 plus shipping (not totally sure yet till I get some made), but it's half the price of a stock gasket, but it is stronger and reusable.

Thoughts?

Thanks guys,Nick

no, it's 1.7mm thick, so it's not that easy. These will be waterjet cut to exact dimensions..

If and when I ever needed a new gasket, I would opt for one of these.
