| Gasket for Exhaust manifold What type of gasket do most of you guys use on the exhaust manifolds? Also where do you get them at? Thanks.

| I never used any either with my stock headers. The Felpro 1400 however, is what most people use when they run a gasket. If you are a racer, and care about doing well, you might want to keep a spare set in your toolbox though in case you damage one. Just ask STH Chuck, 'cause that's what happened to him at the BPG Nats this year.

| Yeah I thought I read that from the factory they didn't use any gaskets. Do you guys just bolt them up or do u put any RTV on them?

| For some reason, I am unable to seal the driver's side with out a gasket, use the Felpro 1400 if you need one, try it without 1st. I made the mistake and just asked for a 87 turbo buick exhaust manifold gasket at auto zone and I got a n/a gasket..... There is a thread all about this dumb *ss situation I got myself into in the general section of this board. Exhaust Manifold Gasket trouble Chuck
