    S50 vs. S52 exhaust manifold gaskets.

    Besides the obvious port count, why wouldn't these be interchangeable??

      OBD2 has provisions in the gasket for the Secondary air injection port to combine with the exhaust gases.

      Using OBD1 Gaskets on an OBD2 car would result in a massive exhaust leak.

        I'm running raceland headers and an OBD-I S50. So it wouldn't make a difference which gasket I can use though....right?
