Default Crush Aluminum gaskets

Anyone heard of those crush aluminum exhaust (flanged) gaskets? People tell me that they see them at O'Reilly, but I can never find them at any of the stores I have gone to. Anyone know where else or even heard of these? I know that they are basically garaunteed not to leak plus you will never have to worry about burning them up cause they are aluminum. Just want your experiences or complaints.

if you are talking about the Percy's aluminum header gaskets they are the best, i use them and have never had a problem, they have been reused about 5 times now.

So you are saying that they have a name? Where do you get "said" gaskets?

He's talking about the collector gaskets. I have the flowtech ones from Advance. I got them after I burned through the ones that came with my headers. Real good seal.
