Question on gaskets
So I finally decided to go stage 2, but had no idea where to buy gaskets. I hit up Speed Element and they said they had 3" gaskets in stock so I went over and bought them. What I didn't know is that they were gonna be some weird paper ones that are like wrapped in aluminum or something. I thought they had metal gaskets but they didn't and they didn't tell me they were going to be like paper or cardboard... Has anyone ever used these gaskets before? I don't want to put them on if they are gonna be *** and not do what they're supposed to. Also, just found out about GrimmSpeed 3" gaskets. Should I return the SpeedElement ones and get the GrimmSpeed gaskets?
** Short Version. SpeedElement 3" paper/cardboard gaskets. Are they good or not? Should I return and get GrimmSpeed 3" gaskets?

Remflex makes great gaskets. I'm using one on my DP to CB. Zero leaks.
Remflex Exhaust Header / Manifold Gaskets
Dont know if the local shops carry them.
Rally Sport Direct has them
Remflex 3 inch 2 Bolt Exhaust Gasket at RallySportDirect.com
Grimmspeed also makes a turbo to DP gasket

Im guessing your talking about for your exhaust? Downpipe to catback gasket? Im running the layered metal ones that came with my invidia exhaust and i have no leaks, they are great! I prefer the metal because you never have to worry about corrosion of the gaskets.
