im putting my car back together finally . now i got to the downpipe and wasnt sure if i needed a gasket???? do i need to put a gasket where the compressor and the downpipe connect? if i do, does anyone know where to get one?? thanks

 

if u put one it would help a little, but isnt critical, since at that point its not going to affect spool time or anything for leaking... if u cant find a gasket, use that new red Mr. Gasket creme, new one they put out stands up to like 650F

 

if i dont put one will i get an exhaust leak?? where do i get that mr. gasket creme?? thanks

 

you should be fine without one!

 

no, u shouldnt get an exahust leak even without one. just make sure the surfaces of the housing and the flange are straight and smooth, and that all the bolts hold it tight

u can get the creme at autozone or advanced auto parts, napa, oreilly's, etc

 

ok, thanks for the responses!!
