So I know that this has tended to be a pretty big debate, but! I was curious about what some of you think. I was looking to just buying a mugen 2 layer or equal but was considering possibly just doing the OEM gasket mod and take out the spacer layer. I just wanted to hear what some had to say about taking a layer out of an OEM and how well it worked as opposed to just paying more for the Mugen. The gasket would be going in a b16a2 99 civic si. I realize that when it comes to engines, quality is better then saving money but getting past that; if anyone has tried this and or just used an aftermarket 2 layer let me know how it has worked for them.
