I need to replace my lower intake gasket, I have to do upper as well right? Anyways anyone have some feedback on good ones or ones to stay away from? anything else I should do while im in there? Oh if it matters i have a Cobra intake.
 
I like the Felpro brand :nice:

I use an install method that is a bit different than most :shrug:
but
I don't have any issues such as leaking and the like ;)

I use no glue or sealer on the gaskets

I do use the cork end gaskets :eek:

I glue them down to the China Wall with 3M Weather Strip Adhesive

I then use a pea sized dab of RTV on each of the 4 corners

Use some all thread or old bolts with the heads cut off to guide the lower
down nice and straight which keeps the side gaskets from slipping around.

Be sure to retorque all bolts until they obtain an even amount of tightness

This will take anywhere from 3 to 5 times to get the job done

Also ... after a couple of heat cycles ..........

You W I L L find some bolts have lost their original amount of torque :bang:
so
It is a M U S T to recheck A L L bolts to ensure they are good and tight :)
