V-band clamp gasket?
Decided to throw a V-band clamp on my turbo because i snapped a bolt in my turbo, i couldn't get it out and it was leaking bad, now this thing is leaking bad because i don't have a gasket for it. Anyone running a gasket, and if so, where did you buy it?

People don't use gaskets, the idea is the flanges are true and will seal well. My downpipe flange was all warped from the welding, so I went and got some 1800* composite gasket material from NAPA. I simply used snips to make all my exhaust gaskets. The material comes in varying thickness and does a great job.

Sounds good, thanks, yeah, mine when i welded got some spatter on the surface, so i had to scrape a bit, guess it made the leaks.
