MadMaxx, when the graphite gasket did not work out, I was suggested to use RTV by Tony and he was pretty confident that solution would work out, three times later I don't think it does.

Before I spend more money on trying the newer updated retro gaskets, would want these tested out, Don't want to be a lab rat anymore.

ART pipes are great concept and are not cheap, but the price paid is not justifying the
experience.
BTW, I've noticed one thing though, not sure why but it always blows up on the drivers side, when the seal is new and perfect, the exhaust sounds amazing. But when the seal blows up, RASP and sputtering is pretty audible.

Tony, can you post pictures and details of this new gasket that you were planning to send for owners with V2 and V1 versions.
