does anyone know where i can find a 2.5" or 2.25" copper metal universal exhaust gasket with the 2 bolt pattern? It's the one that goes between the resonator and the midpipe on a 2 section midpipe aftermarket exhaust (RSR).
I looked all over the net for it and can't find anything. However, I heard from a friend that they are superior to the mesh cardboard ones.

 

o'reillys has them on the performance section of the store.

 

how did you blow a exhaust gasket? altho i've probably have maybe never payed attention lol.

well i'm happy i got a spec2, all slip on no gaskets! altho i forgot to put a gasket after the cat... i think the pipes will do fine w/o the gasket there, i've never had a gasket there for all 3 exhaust i've had b4

unless someone can give me a good reason to put a gasket after the cat... those bolts are annoying to get... impossible to tighten well, impossible to remove if too tight... i have 0 tools to bend or reach a small angle to grab at a bolt at the top of a triangle

 

i have no idea. 3 weeks ago, i noticed my car got noticeably louder out of no where spontaneously. and it's been loud every since. I checked to see if everything was tight, but only last weekend, i looked under there and saw some black exhaust deposits on the outside around the gasket. upon closer inspection, you can see that the gasket looked overheated around the black area, noticeably different than areas without the black deposits.

I found a gasket thanks to a few fellow HT members that replied or PM me when clicking through some links provided. i ordered a copper collector gasket 2.25". i hope its thing fits. it has a slight flange on it, but i think i can dremel it off if it's in the way. if not i screw it up, then whatever. it was only 6 dollars from summitracing.com.
