subydude gasket set, resembles pieces of cardboard!

[kit99bar]

i bought an uppipe from him and the gaskets were made of cardboard too. i never installed the uppipe though so thankgoodness

I just went w/ OEM ones. No problems whatsoever...

[God]

Use OEM people. They are triple layer steel with seal ring. Can't get any better than that.

i just installed the manifold w/ my old gaskets, and it appears to be leak free. Hopefully it stays that way. I've emailed subydude about this, and I'll let you know what develops.

Gruppe-s has a 6 gasket set aswell as individual ones. Only gasket that was paper was the d/p to midpipe one. All others like factory but thicker metal(5x rather than 3 I believe). I have had no leaks aside from the paper gasket I mentioned. $59 shipped for complete set. SD will take care of you though. He's cool like that.

The ones I recieved from Suby Dude were 5 ply except the header/head gaskets looked like the single ply OEM ones.

my dyno engineering ones did the same thing. (the paper-like ones from SD). in the future, i want to move to all metal ones with the 5 layer metal. they really are the best ones. i wanted the dyno engineering ones to help with a leak...but just ended up doubling up on metal ones when the paper-like ones just broke into pieces. no more leak.

Yup. The OE gaskets are really high quality. better than any of the aftermarket stuff i've seen.

gasket failures....

yes there's been a few out there... and every single one has been taken cared off...

Shibby - if its not too late... just give us a call and we can overnight OEM style 5-ply metal gaskets right on over.

its been a pain w/ people having these blown out...

at this point all i can do is to offer a full refund a a free replacement for the gaskets.

suby_dude is a great guy! Great service keeps us WRXers coming back! Keep up the good work!

[Shibby]

Well, I never expected this to happen.

Subydude is giving me a complete refund AND a t-shirt
A+ vendor!!!!

[neverendingmods]

That's customer service.

I was using a VERY similar looking gasket on my uppipe that I bought at Carquest for $3.00. The thing worked great all through last summer, surviving many runs down the 1/4 mile. Then it failed in November and disintegrated in my hand when I removed it...in fact, when I saw your pictures of the failed gasket I was asking myself, "hey, how'd he get a hold my blown out gasket?" It's nice to see a vendor taking care of their customers though! Two thumbs up for suby_dude.

Gruppe-S gaskets are very nice, 5 ply gaskets, made by a company that makes gaskets for subaru. OEM are good but I think those are slightly better
