collector gasket size for AS&M headers?
I'm ordering the percy gaskets right now. I am using the as&m midlength headers. What size gasket am i gonna need for the collector? 2 1/2, 3, or 3 1/2 inch gaskets?

are you sure because i called as&m and asked them what the size of the collectors were and the guy said 2 1/2. I asked him if i would use 2 1/2 gaskets and he said yeah. I hope its not 3 cuz i ordered the gaskets already.

it is 2.5". THEY ARE NOT 3 INCH!!! I have the headers AND the percy gaskets, I should know. 3" is the size of the ypipe when it goes single. Each HEADER has a 2.5" collector. I'm 140% sure, who wants to bet against me. i'll wager my car,
Oh, and those are very good gaskets, they haven't blown on me yet. I had a problem with the passanger side collector hitting the frame under hard acceleration and causing the flange to leak, but I got new gaskets and installed solid motor mounts, no problems now. Good luck.

Thanks for the info Hawk. I have another question for you. With the percy gaskets am i supposed to use gasket sealer or whatever that stuff is on the gaskets?

No, they are deadsoft aluminum. Just install them by themselves, they will conform to the flange.
