manifold gasket
my exhaust manifolds are cracked and leaky, so im going to replace them with oe manifolds. i have a 92, so i have the two peice headers. do i have to remove the intake manifold to replace the exhaust manifold gasket? all the new gaskets seem to be one big peice. from what i hear, i should buy a mr gasket #260. i was going to go for a set of clifford headers, but they are over priced and i have a fairly stock motor.

Hey Octane,
Yeah, almost all the intake/exhaust gaskets for the 300 are one piece, so you will have to remove everything to replace the gasket. There are only a small handful of high performance aftermarket manifold gaskets that are separate, ((but they're most likely not currently on your engine.))
So far, the Mr. Gasket #260 is the way to go. I like it on mine, and it's done the best job of the three brands I've tried.
Where are you located? I am selling some hooker headers locally that I don't need.

I tried the stock FelPro gasket and a Clifford Performance gasket.
The FelPro was "okay" I guess, but it never seemed to fully seal it up. Always seemed like it was leaking a little bit.
The Clifford split under the recommended torque setting, causing one of the tabs to snap off and a $60 repair job. Contacted Clifford and they just told me, "A shop should be able to fix your intake. Good luck."
The Mr. Gasket was the first one I put on that actually made me feel like my intake was all nice and sealed up.
