I am having a heck of a time sealing my tubes and I think the actual gaskets, not tape, would help me out quite a bit. Who has those, I know I have seen them somewhere.
Who had the IC tube gaskets

Tbird88 has them out of Texas. I was looking at them also.

I normally didn't need them either but my tubes keep leaking lately. I think with the torque of my engine, good running for once, is breaking them loose now and I just want that extra little bit of space I need and silicon doesn't quite do it.

T BIRDS teflon seals are the best thing to use.I used the RVT orange sealer.
If you get enough on the IC tubes to insure a great seal,with bad motor mounts.
When you tightin up the nuts on the IC tubes .The sealer will squeeze out inside
of the IC tubes and then get sucked into the intercooler and clog up some passages.
This is just one reason to use t bird 88s gasket.

I made some gaskets myself out of expanded PTFE sheet gasket material that I obtained from W.L. Gore, Inc. This material is similar to the OEM gasket tape, except it's more rigid and durable. It's not really reusable because it compresses. But it works great.
But here's the funny part. When I called about the sample, they were going to send me a standard sample amount, which is about a square inch. Obviously this wouldn't be enough to try the IC gaskets, so I asked if they could send me a square foot. They seemed reluctant but agreed to send it. They included a price list with the sample... turns out the material costs over $2000 for a 48"x48" sheet...oops...

Ok Tbird88, I have a question for you. What kind of jewelry does your girlfriend make? I tried to view the link here at work and it didn't let me go there because it is sex related. Good job, great catch you got there.
