I need to change my exhaust donuts again. Last time I used stock donuts but was wondering if the copper ones are better than oem??
If copper bushings are the better way to go, who should I purchase them from?
Thanks for the input everyone!

OFT?
I would assume OFT is the best way to go for copper?

I read recently a poster said the copper last's but doesn't seal right. So you may get exhaust noise

I was concerned about proper seal with the copper donuts as they wont compress like the graphite ones. I opted to go with the copper ones anyway just for the durability & longevity.CaptCaper said:I read recently a poster said the copper last's but doesn't seal right. So you may get exhaust noise
They did not make the exhaust louder as there is minimal if any leakage.

I just ordered copper for mine. It's worth trying at least once. My sled had 3,000 miles and the stock donuts were shot!

I must have got the last four because I got an email saying they shipped earlier this week.

Ya, I literally ran out on Wednesday night, to the point that I have to fill a partial when I get more stock. Everybody that had ordered is taken care of, so no worries.

Ran the copper from SledToyz this season. 1000 miles so far and zero complaints. The install was a little trickier. Had to really force the y-pipe forward to get a seal but once done never another issue. So far so good
