Default need help replacing a gasket

Im not absolutley sure I have blown a gasket but, my car is making a weird/annoying sound. It sounds like air is coming through somewhere its not suppose to. Someone told me they think its a blown gasket, they said take off your headers its very easy to replace. I was wondering if anyone could do a walk through of how to replace it and what tools I would need?

what year car?

This is for a 1994-97 lx


This is for a 1994-97 ex (I4)


The exhaust flange and gasket for the flange connect the header to the exhaust pipe. If you hear noise from the exhaust it could be loose bolts and I would check them all to make sure they are tight.

Well, i figured out it wasnt a gasket. Its my flexpipe which just pushing 6 months old. Of course I got the exhaust and headers on ebay so I either weld new flex pipe on there or are there any other options?

Sure, get rid of aftermarket crap. Put back stock pipes. They last. Or you could just keep repairing the loud vibrating crap.
