I use them and like them. Others dont. Carolina bike and trike has them, I believe.

I use them and like them. You do need to retorque them the first 2 or 3 times after you ride. Once they settle in you are good to go.

Re-torque on all brands of exhaust gaskets is recommended.  In the car business we use anything our supplier sends us when we order.    They all will work if for that particular vehicle, if they don't we send em back and tell them to black list the part.   Haven't black listed a part in over 2 or 3 years now.

I had them on my bike with the cobra pipes..they fit well and seal well..my biggest complaint was how hard it was to get the nuts back on due to their thickness and I ended up cross threading one of them..when I went back to the modified OEM system I used OEM gaskets as that is what I had..would use them again if I do any more exhaust swaps..

I just put these on with a set of cobra's and did not have the same problem. The nuts went right on and the gaskets sealed well.

I'm using them right now. Had the pipes loose twice since the initial install and no problems, but I'll replace them next time just out of caution. Make sure to re-torque after the first couple of rides.

I have a set of them just waiting for the time I will need them.

I suggest that mixing them with the stock metal gaskets may not be the best thing however this is only my opinion.

On my V-twin the exhaust gaskets are of the same fiber type and have great sealing with them.

Pretty much they all (either type) work as expected.

The big thing is to not break any of the studs when you tighten them down.
