I keep blowing header collector gaskets! Help! Anyone make a heavy duty one? I'm so sick of blowing header collector gaskets all the time on my dual exhaust. Right where my header collector meets my x-pipe I have a leak again. Probably my 3rd one in 6 months. It is really starting to irk me a bit.
I was wondering if there was a heavy duty brand out there less prone to breakage....anyone??

Re: I keep blowing header collector gaskets! Help! Anyone make a heavy duty one? Try a dead soft aluminum or copper collector gasket, and use lock nuts on the bolts to keep it compressed.
Good luck

Re: I keep blowing header collector gaskets! Help! Anyone make a heavy duty one? Oops. Collectors... right from SCE. Summit and/or Jegs can special order from them. Not sure about collectors.
Think they are at:
