Exhaust Gasket
« on: July 09, 2011, 10:18:11 PM »
Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using my stock exhaust gasket with my aftermarket exhaust? The one that came with the exhaust has been taken off a put back on a couple times and is a little deformed, could I still use it or are these supposed to be one time use things?

It's one of those aluminum or steel (I'm not sure) ones.

I think they are generally a single use item, though you can reuse them as long as they seal.

Put a little motor exhaust sealer on the surfaces when you refit them. As long as its not leaking it should be fine.

What about using the stock ceramic or plastic (not sure) with my performance steel exhaust?
