Ordering a set right now! The measurements appear correct after talking with their sales support. Wish me luck, I'm freakin tired of these dang exhaust leaks!!

How did you verify these will fit, I need to get a couple of these as well. I think it was 4" from bolt to bolt and 2 1/2 inches tall. That bout same measurments you got?

I actually got 3 3/4 center to center and 2 1/4 on the inner diameter. Looks like it will fit but I'll let you know for sure later this week. It'd be nice to finally find an answer to this problem. Total cost with shipping/handling is under 20 bucks.

Copper gaskets installed and working great!

Ahh the sound of silence! No more exhaust leaks and the new copper gaskets worked great. I did have to make a slight 'adjustment' on the screw hole diameter on each gasket to fit but it was nothing two minutes and a dewalt 18v couldn't handle. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but I think the faulty gasket days are over!!! I'd recommend these to anyone with the same issue. Hell I may even call DC Sports and tell em to give it a try.. hehe..

Has anyone tried to cut replicas of the DC gaskets out of sheet copper? Might be a better option for me as Summit charges a $10 handling fee + shipping for Canadians

Which will run you about 4-6 dollars.
