Exhaust gaskets

Going to be putting a new acorn exhaust system in the 182. Are the blow proofs worth the extra money versus the solids? Which ones would you recommed?

Yes! Even with the “no blows” you need to inspect the exhaust connection often. It’s a real bummer when a leak there is left unchecked.
