Hey Mitch,

Can you get or know of any exhaust gaskets that go inbetween the header and cat?

I've been making my own out of sheets of Mr.Gasket +/or copper gasket maker, but they keep blowing out.

I'm looking for something alittle more durable if possible....

I'm trying to avoid swapping to a race header and staying emissions legal, but i'm currently running a Hedman shorty, FC hiflo cat, bosal flex, vibrant cat-back with custom dual tips. So it's already plenty loud, and got stupid loud when i ran it with an ORP

I tried Ford dealers, but they keep trying to sell me the SVT metal gasket that goes there

Thanx
Gord

Would it technically be the same type of gasket as the cat end of the exhaust manifold? You could probably get one at any of the local engine rebuilders in your area.
