I’ve been battling a small exhaust leak between the manifold and Y pipe so decided to give these a try. They lasted about 5000 miles before falling to bits while driving home last night. The Disco sounded like one of those brodozers with clipped exhausts haha.

Anyway, back to stock gaskets.

 

I second that. I may have gotten 800 miles out of them before they cr@pped out. I've since used stock gaskets, but doubled up and am using nord-lock washers.

 

No issues doubling up on stock gaskets? That's my next plan, they should be here Friday.

 

I think it’s standard to double up the stock gaskets.

 

I just thought you were supposed to double the gaskets.

 

None, it's pretty much mandatory if you don't want leaks. The nord-lock washers keep the nuts from getting lose from the vibrations (I used M8 8mm).
