hey mate i used to get some of that exhaust gasket paper from auto1. Its a metal gasket with some weird outer layer so it doesnt look like metal until u cut it.. its pretty cheap and works ok... i dont recomend using it all the time as mine used to burn after a month or 2... its too thin...

u can get a proper gasket from midus for like $7...

if u goto repco with the measurement they can look through a catalogue for the closest size gasket, from there you can make any adjustments.

yeh true but ur quickest and best bet is midas exhaust centre... they have all sizes in stock ready to go. and they are all a generic gasket, meaning they can be slightly modified to fit most flanges. ie they will get the closest match then one hole will be elongated... plus they are cheap.

repco never have any in stock

How do you guys go cutting the stuff? I had a hell of a time, tried using a grinder and no dice. :S

I bought a VL exhaust manifold gasket ~$8 and tried to swap around a couple of the ports but as it turned out it was slightly off centre anyway so my port matching of the manifold/head etc would have gone to waste. + I couldn't cut it.

I ended up tracking down a gen nissan rb26 gasket for next to nothing on ebay, cut and then used that.

well the gasket paper im talking about isnt hard to cut at all.. i just used really good tin snips.. (new one) they cut it pretty easily.

Cheers.. I'll have to check it out next time Im after some exh. gasket material. Be buggered paying $100 odd from nissan. :S
