stock Header flange gaskets blowing out! (one to y pipe) need solution please! well so far my car blew up 2 gasket the 4 dollar types at autozone(felpro)
i have been looking all over for better ones but they are nowhere to be found.
i though it might have just been my header or ypipe but its not since an other friend is also tossed in a new driver side gasket and blew off.
they area the paper type the a metal ring in the middle.
i try to get percys but nobody sells them.
-i dont wanna weld or cut anything.
what are my options?
-what if i put 2 gaskets together few people told me to try that..

If you're talkin about the manifold to y pipe gasket, it should only blow if the bolts aren't tight enough ot the flange is not square. Check the flange for flatness, clean the threads to make sure the bolts are tightening well, lube the bolts and tighten to spec.
