Why do headers have the collector thing and not a slip pipe?

the copper ones are 230 in jegs

I run the Copper ones. I paid $15 for them and I'll never go back to any other type of gasket.

I blew out the original paper ones very quickly. I swapped to ultra seal Mr. Gaskets and they lasted quite some time. My exhaust has taken quite a beating in recent years, especially with the front driveline failure I had at real truck challenge...thus why I run copper and no more issues.

Use lock washers and/or prevailing torque style lock nuts on your collectors and they'll never come loose.

i always cut collectors off and slip on pipe and weld

never have to split apart collectors cept to replace the stupif flange gaskets anwyays, so if eliminate them then well... wow no need to ever split them

heh

thats just the way i see it,,


good luck :P

I have been running Earls Dead Soft aluminum gaskets for the past year or so. use to replace my old ones about once a month or so and the parts guys got tired of me exchanging them (gotta love lifetime warranty) and gave me a set of the aluminum ones. Were like 30 bucks I believe but work great. I will never run a regular gasket again.

Ive used these as well and they work great.

I ordered some copper gaskets. $19 shipped from Summit. $9 something without shipping. See if they work out.
