exhaust gaskets for my 18TM + Trinity pipe?
alright soo i've been through 3 silicone rear exhaust gaskets in about 3/4ths of a gallons' worth of fuel with my trinity pipe & OS.18TM.. Nothing seems to fit it right! They all tear or break within minutes of normal running![:@] What size/brand/(part number) are you guys using that you've found to work really well, or any other remedies? Thanks..

The last couple I got are made by RB Concepts. They work pretty good and hold up better than the one that came with the OS motor. But I still rip a gaskets from bad landings where the header moves too much. Try replacing the header spring and see if that helps. Or add a second header spring. Mine was pretty stretched out after taking it off a couple times and a new spring made a big difference. But I try to always have a spare gasket handy.
