Exhaust leak Question

[dyran]

The seals around the headers seem to be gone/going and I want to take off my exhaust and sand blast the rust off and paint it anyways so if someone could tell me what type of gasket to use and should I put some copper based seal in there too? If so what kind. Thanks

Its not a gasket as such, more a type of sealing ring that compresses when the pipes are  bolted up to the head. Best to get the original Suzuki parts. A bit of coppaslip on the flange bolts will make them easier to remove next time.
