Fumes

No one is having luck with the Z1 gaskets. The first shop is right. Most are recommending the FI gaskets... I need to pick up a set myself.

Figures... I used those when I had test pipes, thought I had a leak then so I figured I should try out z1’s but I guess that wasn’t the case, probably just from the test pipes themselves. I asked FI, but is RTV recommended to use with these as well?

Third time I’m trying to make this right...

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate luck. You are not the first person I have heard that had exhaust leaks with the Z1 exhaust gaskets. Try the FI or AAM exhaust gaskets they are great quality and I have had really good luck using them. Try to find a reputable exhaust shop to bring your Z to.
