Default Z6 Intake Mani Gasket Questions...

Do aftermarket IM gaskets actually give you any type of power?

If so, how?

And if i were to buy one, what site/ brand/ price, ect.

And is it true that Y8 IM flow better, and would it be worth getting???

Thanks.

Y8 doesn't own like that... The Y8 has a better mid-flow, almost like the same increase you'd get from using a C.A.I. but the Z6 charts show better high end power than the Y8...

And I do always recommend OEM gaskets, unless you're insanely pushing your cars HP limits a stock gasket will be fine, just make sure when you take off the manifold and put the nuts on, you do it in a criss-cross fashion, along with torquing them right...
