Gasket and Plug Wire Question

Hey everyone. I've just finished taking apart my bike, repainting everything (semigloss black with chevy orange engine cover, bottom half of tank is orange, top is semigloss black with orange racing stripe, stand by for pics!), and I'm in the process of putting it back together. I got the Pipelyne tuned pipe and now I need a new gasket (stock one is wrong shape). Does anyone know if the liquid gasket will be able to stand up to the heat? The one I got says it can take up to intermittent temps of 700 degrees. If this will work anyone have any tips for applying it? If it won't work does anyone know what temp spec the new gasket material should be able to stand up to? Anyone know fo someplace to by a fresh patch (dax only says stock gasket and a patch the say is perfect for intake cand carb but no word on exhaust).

On a completely different note I seem to remember one of the merchants selly a "high performance" plug wire that was red or orange, now I can't find it. I could care less about performance part but It'd be cool to have orange plug wire. I tried the local auto parts store but they don't have just the wire. Anyone remember where this part was online or where I can find the supplies to build my own?

For a good plug wire, get a 7mm wire from an auot parts store or bike (M/C) shop.

For the gasket, many have used gaskets made from common high temp gasket material, I wouldn't try liquid gasket maker though. The exhaust gas temp is around 1000 degrees F at it's peak.

We had a special on them. Sold out. I have some orange wire left. Would you like one? How long? Same price as our current Magnecor wires.

I've had good luck using regular gasket paper sealed on both sides with orange hi-temp RTV (think it says it's good to 600 or so). Don't seal the exhaust with just the RTV though, it will fail more than likely.

Bumping this thread, still looking for a source of high temp gasket material. Couldn't find any in my area. Does anyone have a good, proven source online?

To use as a sealer for your exh. without a gasket?????No such thing....Just buy the gasket and shape it to your pipe....And then you can ADD some red high temp Permatex silicone sealant if you really need it....Maybe I`m not understanding what you are looking for....

Any junk yard will have more 7mm plug wires than you can shake a stick at...best of all there dirt cheep or free...

I have the stitts plug wire its reddish orange( industrial plug wire copper core) and I also have the high temp exhaust gasket material one all fiber and one with a metal core. I make the exhaust gaskets or you can have the material in blank form I also have material for the intake gaskets I make them or in blank form.

I'm looking for an actual sheet of high temp gasket. I know I can't use just the silicone.
