Has anyone tried using the thick solid copper racing exhaust gaskets? They can be installed/ replaced with out removing the exhaust header from the studs due to slotted bolt holes. I believe that they're also available in larger diameter port openings, which would work out well with the Vanagon ports. Als, what about Copper-Coat? I've heard of this copper-based sealant that's used by heavy equipment mechanics for gasketless exhaust joints. Just wondered if anyone has experience with using either of these on Vanagons or anything else for that matter.......
