This is the second gasket I've tried (I've not gone double gasket b/c of the increased risk of leaks), and still gotten the leak.

So, does anyone know where I can get a thicker gasket to put between the OP and header? The OEM gasket apparently is too thin.

JDL or @Ryan@Nameless, do either of y'all have replacement exhaust gaskets that are thicker than OEM for your exhaust components? Or any other trick to seal the leak I'm getting? The leak is enough to cause some odd lean spots in the tune that simply cannot be tuned out.

Thanks, folks!
I know nameless has a thick graphite gasket they use. I believe it's made out of Remflex. You can probably find what you're looking for on their site. http://www.remflex.com

Worst case scenario they sell plain sheets so you can cut your own. http://catalog.remflex.com/COLLECTOR..._p/gs16511.htm
