the sheets they sell at autoparts stores only hold up to 300* (thats there high temp). I put it on and tried it and it stunk so bad that i thought i was goin to have to pop my hood and aflame come out.

on my setup i used autozone item # 2499 or i think its 85505.....cut it to size(which is not easy) but i guess if you have more then some wire cutters it will be .....put it in between my mani and turbo holds nicely no leaks....its like 15$ for a big *** sheet you'll probably use about 10% of it.
