**Riss Racing** Stock Gasket vs. Riss Racing Gaskets

Hey guys,

I just thought I'd share some images of the stock BMW Gaskets vs. our 2.5" Riss Racing Gaskets.

With our high temp steel material, you can see how well our gaskets can hold up

Feel free to share your thoughts!

#1 Picture - Stock Gasket
#2 Picture - Riss Racing Gasket

Good stuff. Replacement gaskets are essential with any exhaust system upgrade. Even CP-e didn't get this [providing replacements] right the first time but they do now that enough people have commented about issues with the fragility of the OEM ones.

I have a leak on my RR exhaust and I'm pretty sure it's because the gasket blew out. Hopefully something faulty the same thing happened on my IS300 with my HKS Hi-Power. A chunk just came out of the chalk-like filling.

Agreed! That's the reason why I posted--to bring some knowledge to something that I'm sure many people don't consider looking into.
