Some people swear by the static discharge strap that hangs off the back of car, again, something I've never needed. If it works for you, do it. |
There may well be gaskets, but I can assure you there is a very sound electrical connection made via the studs of both the manifold to head joint, and the manifold/turbo joint to exhaust flange
I can't remember the last time I saw a car with a static discharge strap, but there is a complete difference in the build up of static in a car and that of the Earth, bearing in mind it is sitting on four very efficient insulators, and that of perceived potential difference between a car body and an exhaust pipe.
