Ok i just recently installed my DC Sports 4-2-1 2pc headers on my Teg. I was wondering what the piece that goes inbetween the header and the cat is called?Like a material of somesort or something? (exhaust flange?) Because i believe i need a new one, my car makes a wierd sound during idling and i think its letting air and thats why i probably get a wierd sound. I would appreciate it if someone could help me out

i Have discovered with help that it is a donut gasket, go down to read my last comment

Donut gasket?

 

i dont know what its called, its like what goes between the headers and the CAT. Its loose, probably because it is old, but i dont like the sound that it gives my car. Like when i idle my car sounds like a track car LOL. Oh and like you cant hear it when im in 3rd at low revs but like in first when i take off and almost everytime except third. So i dont know, i want to make it sound right.

 

Yea, it's the gasket. It's probably old and leaking, so just replace it, fairly cheap too.

 

are you sure that its called the donut gasket? Its like the way this guy described it to me was that its like a material or something.

 

Its a donut gasket and it will rust away and make you run open header kinda.

 

it is a tapered gasket, basically a big o-ring that creats a seal between the cat and the header. I think they are about $10 from honda. go to http://www.acuraparts247.com to look up the part number. I think they even call it a donut

THANKS

yeah that must be it because i think the space between the cat in the header is what causes that rattling sound and letting more air in but i cant find it on that site you mentioned.

 

Yeah, even muffler shops have them.

Good luck

 

I went to the acura dealer today and picked this up. Is this the right part? Pretty sure it is but just to be 100%?
