Who makes the best exhaust gaskets?
 
Burns Stainless doesn't make gaskets apparently. I need a 3 hole flange gasket, who is good?

Remflex. But, really just about anything of at least marginal quality will work fine usually.

Any time I've exercised that mentality I've been bitten in the butt.

Are these sizes refering to the pipe diameter?

Some things work much better with that mentality than others. LOL.


Yes, pipe diameter IIRC. Inner diameter I think, which would be what the gasket should be cut for.

I edited for your edit. The earth should start to turn inside out now.

Coolsville. Looking at these gaskets makes me feel like my 2.25" pipe is so small.

Well, you could buy a bigger gasket and get the pipe to go with it.. :D

Eh, the dude who made my exhaust knew what he was doing. www.elstonexhaust.com. It would have never leaked if I didn't bang the car around so much. At any rate, all pipe diameters were chosen based on his knowledge/experience. Well, that and he had to work with the downpipes I brought him (car has MB euro-optional tri-y headers and the downpipes that go with them, he built the rest), but he had no objection to them.

Are those really the best Fabrik8? Becuse they worked for all of 2.5 days before leaking again.
