A couple of months ago (before I had the body on) I connected and mounted my FFR pipes to my headers so I could do some gokart testing. When I took them off to start to do my body work they ended up getting stuck to the metal in various places, and basically disintegrated in the removal process. So at some point I'll need to order a new set, no biggie.
But now that I have the body on, I'd like to do some more road testing, so I'll likely require another set for that, then another set after everything gets removed and reassembled after paint.
Question 1: does anyone know a good source for the square(ish) header to pipe gasket? Is this a pretty custom gasket, or can you find it in a few places? I seem to remember maybe Breeze having it, but felt a little pricey to me.
Question 2: any advice for being able to re-use those gaskets? Are they meant to be single-use only? They seem to stick to the metal when they get tightened down. Maybe a light coat of high-temp copper anti-seize between mating surfaces?
Question 3: do most people end up cutting out the center of the gasket to open them up? I can't imagine any reason you'd want to restrict flow with the center intact, but just thought I'd check to make sure.
