I'm talking about these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PHP-66012/?rtype=10


Are they supposed to have 2 pieces per side? I don't know if it's supposed to be MLS and I'm supposed to stack em' or they accidentally gave me 4... Look at this:

They're only stuck together at one end. All four look the exact same in every way. The heck am I supposed to do with this?

they are a stack of a bunch of pieces, usually more than 4 on each side. that way it will compress and form to the exhaust and the head. they work great

those are the same ones i have

Those work GREAT! I had put these on my old GTA that had a busted manifold stud that was missing and they still sealed up. I now have the header version and swear by them. FYI, there also re-usable
