Exhaust gaskets that don't suck?
Anyone know of any exhaust gaskets I can buy that don't melt onto the flange or crumble, etc?
I know they make high temp ones like Vibrant etc, is there anything else I can use that will last longer than a year? All of the muffler shops etc, use straight up junk and I am not sure if it's just me, but I rather pay 10 bucks for one that doesn't suck rather than pay 4 dollars for crappy ones...

From my experience, even the cheapest gaskets work well. When an exhaust gasket goes bad, it is mostly due to poor, uneven flanges or loosely torqued bolts which cause leaks at the flange. The amount of pressure coming through the leak will cause any quality gasket go bad over time.

This is what i use, 2 years on them so far, The old ones i had to replace everytime i took my exhaust apart i think mostly due to the heat my car produces at track days.
