hey i just got a dc 4-2-1 header for my civic, and was wondering if i could reuse the gasket from the head to the header. if not, then would i need to get a dc sports specific gasket? i also need the gasket that goes between the two pieces. where could i buy this? guess in general im asking for what i need to put the header on. thanks

 

yes you can.

 

depending on the condition of it you can most liekly re-use it!

yes you can tear aluminum foil, but i think the exhaust manifold is a bit mor complex than a piece of aluminum foil, i realize it is fragile, but no, it does not tear that easily. I have reused mine 4 or 5 times.

 

all i;m sayin is you can tear it

 

gotcha!!

 

reuse

 

If you have the 2 piece header, there are special o ring gaskets that fit into the grooves...thats all you need

 

yeah im gettin them sent to me thanks for all the help guys

You have never torn a gasket before?
i have a few times. if the gasket gets bent a little bit it will get weak and possoibly tear.

nope, never torn my exhaust mani. gasket. I did break my IM gasket when taking off the IM, but i was gonna replace anyways, and i have torn my valve cover gasket, but it is rubber, but not my EM gasket
