Fel Pro Intake Manifold Gaskets

[Cuong Nguyen]

It would seem that Fel-Pro's quality has gone down over the years. My past experiences with them aren't very good when it comes to lower intake manifold gaskets (different makes, not Nissan). I would like to know if any of YOU have personally replaced your lower intake manifold gaskets with Fel-Pro ones like these:

 

I really prefer the OEM metal and rubber gaskets as that's what came from the factory and has worked.

I have those gaskets on my truck right now. 500 km and still going strong

I used a whole felpro set when I pulled the heads off my wife's 01 quest. That was a little over 40k miles ago. This was before I found out that felpro head gaskets weren't good for a VG. I always spray head gaskets with copper coat though, and everything is holding up so far.

That gives me some confidence. I went to the dealership to check out their gaskets and it seems all 87-2004 vg use the updated pressed steel gasket the superseded the old rubber and steel gasket. Perhaps that's why Fel-Pro updated their design too since the VG33 uses the same type of gasket that is pictured above.
