Ep3 exhaust manifold gasket

Messages

Hi guys, apologies if this topic has already been covered, couldn't find a solid answer anywhere. About to fit a 4 branch to my ep3, just wondering if it's worth paying that bit extra for an aftermarket gasket over a standard oem one? Will it make any difference?

Cheers.
 
The doughnut gaskets? If so... No, they're dirty nasty cheap components no matter where you get them from.
 
It's the thin metal gasket that sits between the head and the manifold. I'm not tight by any means, but you would pay double the price for aftermarket over OEM.
 
No, nothing to be gained there.

Aftermarket (thermal) intake gaskets yes, exhaust gaskets - no.
 
Thanks for clearing that one up. I'll be sticking with a standard gasket from H-Tune. And thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
