headers gaskets cracked
Hey whats up everyone, I have a problem. I have obx headers on my 01 cl-s for about a yr now and my gaskets that connect on my engine block have cracked and i cant find any company that has any new ones for sale. I was woundering if anyone knew of a place to get new ones and also if comptech gaskets would fit. I called obx and they gave me some number to a company, but they said they have none in stock and it might not be a couple weeks till they get new ones which sux b/c im away at school and have no car to drive to and from school. If anyone knows where to get new gaskets or if comptech ones would fit that would be very helpful. Thanks

I know that they're waaay thicker that the OEM ones but shouldn't the stock ones still work?
