For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.

    exhaust manifold gaskets question

    has anyone tried this dp gasket from f22parts.com

    http://www.f22parts.com/item_Headergasket.htm....

    or this one
    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-27180/


    i have dc header but the two O ring gaskets are not sealing that good. i think they made the gasket seats deeper than they should be... every time i try to accelerate on higher gear i can hear the exhaust leak.

        they're a little more expensive now i guess.


        still worth it.

          I've tried the second one. Its nice and thick, BUT, like wed3k says, if your flange isn't perfectly true, and you torque the header to the downpipe and the mating surfaces aren't flat, then it'll burn through that gasket. Thats what happened to mine. I ended up just reinstalling my GReddy gasket that came w/ my header and it worked out fine.

          That hedman one is made out of a flexible high temp fiber material, kinda nice for awhile, but it did burn through eventually after like 2 months.

            the problem with mine is that i have dc header.... they have the groves/ O O shaped for the stock gaskets. but i think they are too deep because when i install the gaskets, they don't even stick out.....

            is there any difference in thickness between 90 ex dp gaskets and 93 ex dp gaskets? does anyone know?
