well finally ordered my long tubes, just wondering how many of you used the gaskets and bolts that came with the long tubes? if not whats a good gasket/bolts to go with?


thanks for any help.

 

The old gaskets Pacesetter used to use were pieces of paper crap. I threw those right in the garbage. I did use their bolts however and I haven't had any problems, I tightened them once and they have never backed out on me. I do periodically run a wrench over them to double check though. From what I hear, they are using better copper gaskets now.

 

I bought a set of copper ones thinking i was getting paper and ended up returning them since the ones it came with were very nice. I did buy the copper y-pipe flange gaskets since they are paper. The bolts need tightening 4 times and the last 2 were only 2 bolts with very little movement. I went back months later and they were all solid. The ones in the kit worked well. I did use sealent on the gaskets and have zero leaks from them.
