Which style Downpipe gasket will seal best? Im using a E316G on a 1G O2 housing to a stock 2.25" Downpipe.
The last 2 I used where this style, both looked like this when I took them off. (2 metal layers with some black substance between them. Opening is banded with metal). I had leaks
Here are 3 types I got from Rockauto.
left to right - (1) Mahle, (2) Felpro, (3) Bosal.
(1) Mahle- 2 layers of metal with black stuff between. Opening is banded with metal. Gasket is separating in the package.
(2) Felpro - multi layer graphite. Opening is banded with metal.
(3) Bosal- 2 layers of metal with black stuff between. Opening is NOT banded.
I am using a 7cm, 6-ply multi-layer metal gasket from ExtremePsi for the manifold-to-turbo gasket.
They have the same style for the O2 housing-to-downpipe, but it looks really thick. Not sure if it will cause the downpipe bracket-to-O2 housing bolt to misalign if I use both of that style.
What do you guys think?
