what brand and part number would you guys recommend? i have a '92 blown GT with JBA shortys and edelbrock aluminum 6037s. there is a loud and annoying exhaust leak from the passenger side. also who is the cheapest to order from?
thanks [patriot]

edit: i forgot to add that i also have a leak from the EGR gasket where the EGR attaches to the spacer, where can i find a new one?

thanks a lot. i'm going to go ahead and send my order. i was also suggested to use copper gaskets? what difference over aluminum is copper; i would assume the copper to seal better?
thanks [patriot]

they both seal great...just remember that with copper you have to re-tighten the bolts a few times ...i had the good mr.gasket ones...they worked great but kind of a pain in the ass for the first few weeks...i have the pearcy's and tightened once so far and love them...they're thick as hell though and hard to stick in at first but once they're in right....nice and tight seal...still re-useable too

thanks. i think i'll stick with the aluminum then. it's a real pain to get to the header bolts with all the damn smog equip. in the way.

We sell these two items for about $50, we match or beat summit prices on most everything they carry.
