I got my clutch a little too tight on my SG and had to replace my throw out bearing. Had to drop the exhaust to get to it. The exhaust gasket came out and this is what I saw.













So this is one of the metallic gaskets I got from V&H when I put the power duals on.

Two questions....

Would you replace?
And...
Could this be contributing to my tuning problems (specifically deceleration popping)?

 

Yes &, yes.

 

You'd better.

 

maybe you should leave the evan williams out of the equation the next time,lol

 

Put the H-D Screamin Eagle exhaust gaskets in. They fit great, just make sure you get them all the way seated before you put the exhaust on.


Also, throw that panther **** known as Evan Williams in the river. Jim Beam is far better.

 

Not even worth contemplating. Replace the gasket.

 

Replace the gasket AND the whisky.

I recommend Eagle Rare.

 

why would you even think about re-using a gasket that looks like that?

 

What ever brand of exhaust gasket you go with,put them in the freezer overnight before installation.

 

Replace for sure yes
