headers leak... i had enough

[old red]

hi
i got my headers and downpipe custom-made for my 'oo camry v6, the gaskets between the headers' collectors and the downpipe always leak, i changed the gaskets 3 times now and they still gradually leak after a couple of hours of driving around, the gaskets i'm using are old fashion asbestos , i dont know if i spilled that right

anyway, i've been searching for aluminum or copper gaskets but i couldn't find any cause the flanges i'm using are 2-bolt flangs, everything i found was 3-bolt, so could someone please find me some?

the diameter is 2.5"

thanks

you can get these gaskets at any exhaust shop. just ask for them they're stainless steel. around eight bucks a gasket. I dont know why your getting leaks. you shouldn't are the gaskets your using fiber gaskets?

i found out that the nissan altima's gasket fits perfectly, and cost less too

thanks though
