Copper exhaust donuts - a MUST ?? who has the cheapest ones?

[kimoajaj]

Hi guys!

I`m about to finish up my yearly preseason check-up and having heard of the bad OEM exhaust donuts I wonder how big a risk it is to run the stock ones?
If they start to leak, wount I hear it??

I already had the tank off to change sparkplugs and inspect turbo/hoses etc. and now it`s all back together but should I take the christmas budget to another level and also order copper caskets?
Are they made of plain copper? It would be cheap to have a friend at work make them in the lathe hehe

I guess having a turbo increases the heat and decreases the life of the donuts?
Who has the cheapest donuts?

Ive seen stockers reduced to nothing after 2000 miles so I picked some up from SledToyz at $17 each. When I opened it up I found all were intact except a small chunk taken out of one, but I replaced them anyway. $60 for peace of mind seems worth it to me.

copper is THE way to go, after 1200 miles last year, no wear at all.
