Exhaust gasket material?

[dnale]

I need to have exhaust gaskets made for my psi twin pipes as the old ones were pretty messed up when I took them off the motor pre-rebuild. I have gone to a couple of autoparts stores looking for exhaust gasket material. I thought I remembered being able to buy exhaust gasket material and then cutting it to fit whatever I needed. Would this be the best? Should I try to find a univeral gasket that will fit? Thanks.

I picked up some rol gasket material. It doesn't say anything about exhaust gaskets. Will this work?

Can ya google for some gaskets for thos pipes???

it would be nice to have the wright ones...

the ones I put on, really just looked like automotive style gaskets. One place they showed me an exhaust gasket from a 1964 galaxy witha big block and it matched up pretty good. The only thing was that it had a metal ring at the center. I wasn't sure if that would mess up the mating surface.

If nothing else it would help with blow out.(metal ring )

unless that wouldn't let it seat right???

 

[dnale]

blow out or up? I'm not too keen on the latter one.....

Blow out the gasket

They were cheap. Like $1.40 each. I could grab one and see how it fits.

Yup..

Go to a local shop that does exhaust work on cars. Bigger shops should have a good selection. I used Honda Accord gaskets on a stock exhaust sxr700.
