Default quick question for those with AAM test pipes.

I have a few questions about the AAM test pipes. I have some AAM test pipes for my HR coming in next week and i understand they dont come with header to test pipe gaskets but do come with test pipe to y pipe gaskets. is that true? and also who has used berk header to test pipe gaskets? i wanted to make sure that gasket from berk will work the right way with the aam test pipes. i've heard of people wanting to do it but i never heard of someone actually going through with it and actually doing it. Id like to use an actual gasket instead of that gasket maker AAM tells you to use. thanks in advance!

BTW, i've posted in intake & exhaust section and got 700 views and not one reply.

I thought the Berk gaskets can be used with any HR testpipe. I am using them with turbo xs testpipes and I have not had any issues so far

I have the AAM test pipes on my 08 HR, and yes they did not come with header to test pipe gaskets. I used the stock Nissan gaskets with no problems/leaks and they have been in use for over a year now.

However it was a little trickey to get the stock gaskets to stay in place so that they would seal.
