I had to remove my mid pipe to install my clutch last night & didn't realize the midpipe had gaskets on it. I had to reuse the old ones that were on there, but they are pretty trashed & I wanted to order some new ones. I wanna say the ones that were on the car felt like metal with a mesh core?


These are the only 3" ones I could find that look like they match up...Are these what you guys are running?

If not, where can I buy a new set? I don't see anything on B&B's website...

Thanks...

I've "restored" those kinds of gaskets with a coating of Coppercoat. It'll work in a pinch, at least...

I had a few sets made from solid copper that are about 1/8" thick.

That and a smear of "Ultra High Temp Copper Gasket" provided a pretty good seal.

Call B&B. They will send you new ones.

I had the old copper ones and used that copper gasket stuff on mine as well before.

After the third set of B&B ones they sent me, I had a set of copper ones made up.
