Downpipe and exhaust gaskets
« on: 31 March 2015, 09:38:39 pm »
As above really.
 I can't find anything definitive, I'm looking at replacing the gaskets throughout but don't know what I should have or need.

Assuming there's 4 at the front, are there any further back?
I've an aftermarket link pipe and what I believe to be a delkovic can too, but that all blows so I wanna do it all really.

Amyone got any links?
Not fussed if it's ebay or elsewhere :)

Thanks chaps

will be keeping an eye on this...


I changed my end can for a Scorpion, its blowing/dripping a bit, but they advised just to use some heat tolerant silicon ( have some 600+ stuff ) on the join and tighten the clips well....so plan to do that..there is not room for a gasket there anyway in my case, it would be wafer thin and not really compress, its tight but not air tight...


But i am in the process of getting my down pipes off, waiting for plus-gas, bolts seized....


Not sure if i will need to renew the gaskets either...

Anutz & davidkent you will both need 4 gaskets for the front down pipes,aftermarket link & endcans normally don't have gaskets hence the heat resitant silicone used by Anutz.
Anutz have a good look at those pipes as it maybe better if your can to get some new stainless ones from Motad,give them a ring for a better price as I & others have on here,if you replace them you will need to balance the carbs.

I went for the Alu/fibre as fitted originally.
