My exhaust keeps blowing out between the mani and my adaptor, this is due to my poor first time fab skills. So until I can make a new adaptor or order a BMC I need to find a way to stop it. Is there any good gasket material to use OR wil JB Weld hold the heat.

I was hoping to JB weld (use JB weld as a sealant , not as strength support because it hardens better than RTV Exhaust Sealant) it for the time being.

use an old liscence plate as your gasket, cut it all good and bolt it up. it seriously works.

I use a peice of sheet metal and so gasket sealer. Works fine for now. Still want a new adaptor but in time!

Do not use sheet metal, it will not withstand the heat. I went through the same problem and the sheet metal brokedown and went into the turbo. Chipped some of the fins. I ended up using the stock maifold to turbo housing gasket on dsm's. I just doubled up the gaskets and have had no leaks. The sheet metal lasted for a couple of weeks.

thats not good. how thin was your sheet? maybe something thicker would work. arent license plates a stacked layer of a few sheets? i can see that blowing out compared to maybe a 0.25mm sheet.

fyi i picked up the dsm gasket as well. its like a .5mm ceramic layer sandwiched between two thin sheet metal layers.

Ya, I'm going to honda and getting a oem copper gaket tonight. I plan on removing the sheet metal this weekend
