SLP Tri Y Header Collector Gasket NEEDED.

If anyone can help me out by making me a couple of sets of this gasket or telling me where I can order some I would be so thankful. I can't get ahold of ROL for some flipping reason and I need new gaskets. So dadgum ticked off at SLP's stupid gasket design.....

I never used that exact set of headers so I'm not sure why this would be a problem. But have you tried contacting SLP? They're still around over in Toms River, NJ. Link:

What exactly did you use to cut it and to drill the holes?

Use red high temp silicone. A guy running circle track cars told me about that. No more burned header gaskets. I used them on the heads and on the collectors. Stays flexible, seals great.
