Looking to replace my exhaust gaskets between the manifolds and cyls. Would an aftermarket gasket like the Winderosa brand be as good as a Yamaha gasket? I wouldn't mind going with aftermarket since they are alot cheaper.

I rebuilt my whole engine with a winderosa kit. The only gasket i noticed a big difference in was the base gasket. The OEM one was a metal and the aftermarket was like a stiff paper. Will it make a huge difference, who knows. The OEM manifold gasket was 1 piece and the aftermarket was 3 pieces one for each jug. I don't think the exhaust gasket will matter either way, as long as it doesn't leak your good to go.
