    My 2008 V6 has an exhaust leak where the passenger side header is.

    I think I found the replacement gasket but there are two links below and can't tell if there is a difference (same exact price but dimensions are different - possibly packaging?). Considering the JBA shorty's are 2035s I'm thinking either will work, does anyone know if there's a difference, or a better option since these have been out for some time?

    Based on the description:

    JBA Headers use the old style raised sealing ring for the cylinder head flange. Because of this you will have to use their crush to seal gaskets and the Toyota multi-layered stainless steel gaskets do not seal with the JBA headers.

    I think what they're trying to say here is that you have to use their gaskets as the stock ones don't seal (and they're just lacking punctuation), but it's hard to tell, the firs time I read this has needing to use both the stainless and crush to seal gasket..

    Any insight would be beneficial! I've reached out to JBA as well but I'd like to hear from the DIYers as well.

    Cheers and happy Friday!
