Mr. Gasket You've replaced your factory exhaust manifold with a performance header. Now what can you do to avoid blowing out your factory exhaust manifold gaskets? Mr. Gasket might have the answer: a new exhaust manifold gasket designed for the Integra Type R (B18C5). This new gasket is made from 0.043-inch-thick solid copper and is track-proven to eliminate exhaust leaks for Top Fuel dragsters, Funny cars, Alcohol-class race cars, and even street cars. The gaskets feature an embossed O-ring design to increase sealing pressure around exhaust ports, thus creating a tight leakproof seal. Information: Mr. Gasket, Dept. SS08, 10601 Memphis Ave., #12, Cleveland, OH 44144, 216/688-8300 ext. 500, www.mrgasket.com.
