They work well. I have a set on my car. 5K miles so far and no issues or leaks. I've had to remove the headers and re-used the inserts, and still no leaks. The aluminum frame is nice.

decided to get them. Been recomended by a few people. I dont feel like messing with copper rtv

I bought them for my turbo setup. Had similar ones from AFM when my car was supercharged and never had an exhaust leak.

Those look similar to remflex gaskets which were the only gaskets that would work with a turbo when I used one.

I'll keep y'all posted

I'd be interested to know.

The graphite inserts are fragile as far as dings and dents go. I think they are just pressed graphite. If the flange flexes too much during installation the inserts can fall out. At least that is what I noticed on mine... But, they have sealed well for me so far.

Oh, these flanges have no chance of flexing

I think the aluminium frame on mine is only 3/32 - 1/8 thick. Before I installed them I was moving them around and I think I picked it up by one end and a few inserts fell out. It was a error on my part. I'm not saying they're bad. These have worked better than anything else I've tried.
