I bought a used RRM axel back and I cracked my rusty stock gasket when taking off the stock unit. I have been looking for a replacement at your typical auto parts stores and no one seems to have it or be able order it!

I checked NAPA and when they pulled up the pictures for the exhaust gasket for the RA, none matched. They had one that appeared the same for a lancer 2.0, but it was special order only. Will this one fit? If not where can I find one?

 

Dealership, won't cost very much, might take them a couple days to get it in.

 

Err, I hate my local Mitsu stealership so much I didnt even think about it!

I went ahead and ordered the one for the base lancer from NAPA, I'm tired of driving around and my car sounding like a freaking retarded weed eater. Think it will fit? I have my doubts being that I assume their exhaust pipes are smaller...

Its done paid for and we shall find out in a few hours...

 

wait u installed ur OBX headers befor you swaped out the muffler?

 

Just looked it up, it's not the same.

 

Yeah...why? I just buy stuff when I find good deals. I had the axelback on for a day before the gasket cracked and it sounded GOOD with the header and DP!

Well shoot on the base gasket. The shape is the same and if the only difference is the hole I will probably just make it bigger till I can get over to the dealership.

 

o i c. just thought you may have already swaped out the muffler. how are the heads holdin up btw? i wonder how they compare to RRM.

 

The header is holding up just fine. Come spring we will find out how they deal with the salt.

Ive never seen an RRM header in person but Im sure its prettier as Im sure the laborers were more skilled then any found in China.

From the photos it appears the OBX design is nothing more then a knock off of the RRM header.

 

Does anyone have the RRM header? If so, can you tell a difference in power?

 

lots of people have the RRM header, not many have OBX. from what i hear theres nice gains from the RRM set as well as the OBX
