Here is what they look like after 2 years.

I have been needing to get a set of these. I have never put them on and they don't come on the engines from the factory. I have black rings around 4 out of 8 exhaust manifold ports LOL

hell i think i've got all but one that has leaked at one point or another.... i just keep tightening them up... for some reason all the bolts keep coming loose!! a gasket would prolly help...

I have used Felpro gaskets since these since that's what Swamps does, but I guess these work just fine.

Yeah, I plan on using Felpro too. Not too expensive.

Price difference is nill. This was just a picture of how they're holding up after 2 years.

Sort of goes along the same lines as turbo boost/drive threads.... trying to actually accumlate data rather then just let people keep spouting off numbers from memory or opinion.

Marty did this truck get used a lot during the winter with all the salt used around here? If they did they look like they held up really well

 

[Marty]

I can't say for sure how much salt it saw.

I've always used to the Fel-Pro gaskets, they hold up fine on my truck.

I used them no problems so far on mine.

I also use the FelPro gaskets. I have seen where they break down but I don't know how long they were actually in use.

I have gotten along good with the international ones but we almost always have the maniflods surfaced.

FWIW though I did put the felpro ones on my pulling truck just because I thought they may hold up better with the high heat and pressure
