Quality brings me back, to Mr Gasket, for over 30 years now. Never bought a bad product from them. Excellent seller and the shipping was quick and affordable.

So far so good, no leaks initially and after several heat cycles still seem to be holding fine. Would buy again if I have to but do not think that will be needed ever.

Installation was simple. Now it is a matter of time to see how well they compare to the paper gaskets from the same company. Those lasted 4 years before needing to be replaced.

Used to seal up 3 inch exhaust cutouts. Through several heat cycles they started falling apart. Would not buy again

I really took a chance by not knowing my header manufacturer and it was difficult to measure the bolt pattern while still assembled (I didn’t want to take the header apart until I had something in my hand to put back) but these were spot on perfect for me. Nice and thick and a quality feel. Sealed the leak nicely!!
Maureen –

I have used other flange gaskets before but these seem to hold up the best !
