new exhaust for christmas! not really.. it is used but still good to go aside from some scratches

since my old exhaust got all denty and bumpy, i'd definitely like to get my new one put on today but i'll need exhaust gaskets...

-what is the point of an exhaust gasket(s)
-is it really needed?
-is it recommended to reuse old ones? not sure if i even have any(i wasn't the installer but i'll be installing this new one)

i want to try this on asap

thanks

Exhaust gaskets are designed to prevent exhaust leaks.

Which gasket are you referring to? The donut gasket at the end of the exhaust manifold?

PowerLeg

from cat-back

isnt there suppose to be some little pieces between every part where the pipe connects?

i have 2 pipes and the axelback...

so thats 3+? i dont know... lol

I've had my OEM exhaust apart several times over the years and I've never replaced a gasket. I probably need to, though, because I think I have a slight leak somewhere.

PowerLeg

does gasket size matter? i need 60mm 2.36~in ones... and i dont know how many i need


also does anyone know what type of item is safe to use on removing rust off my pipes? i want to remove all rust on my pipes and anti-rust coat it before putting them on (used pipes some rust here and there)

^^^ help please, i'd like to do this ASAP because i will be putting it on in the afternoon tomorrow and i need "known products/info"

If you're just replacing the exhaust (cat-back) system, then all you will need is the flange gasket that goes between the catalytic and the exhuast pipe. If your exhaust is a bolt on system with several pipes, then they should have flange gaskets between the pipes also.

PowerLeg

^ yea thats what i ment, im changing out my full greddy catback for my apexi catback

i'll reuse my old flange gaskets for now but they may be all bad lol

i'll need a rust removal item too please

PowerLeg

are exhaust bolt springs required?

what purpose do they serve and should i get them? ihave my apexi n1 on without springs and then i realized that they "COULD" be important because i just saw under a friends car and he has springs between his bolts or some ****..

thanks
