Default blowing out exhaust gaskets
I just recently had my collectors and y pipe flanged and i keep blowing out the gaskets, seems to line up good. Could it just be cheap gaskets? any suggestions on good gaskets? thanks in advance

The carbon or paper type gaskets will continue to fail. if you are dead set on not using RTV find one that is all metal, copper or aluminum should do.
