Question do our trucks have exhaust gaskets?

Just wondering if our trunks have exhaust manafold gaskets? Since exhaust from factory seems to be the best for a slightly modded truck I was thinking of sending my stock manifolds to be cleaned up and ceramic coated. I looked for a listing from ROL gaskets and did not see the 5.4 listed but I may have an old part number list. I just thought since I was taking them off I would upgrade to better gaskets if there are any. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Gaskets between the manafold and block but not at the connection between the manafold and the exhaust pipe.

One of the sides comes in two pieces; the other is a single gasket. Nice looking gaskets that come in a fancy ford box. Be prepared to spend $70-80 bills.

I believe Houston Performance can get these for like 25 a piece.

Not sure though. On my '96 Cobra that's what they were.

Also, you WANT to stay w/ the factory gaskets. They are the best on these Modular's.

The one on the drivers side is two pieces. That's how they got around the oil dipstick.

Thanks for the information. I called the dealer and left side is 26.18 and right side is 19.38. So not bad at all.
