So I installed my turbo-back exhaust two days ago, looks,sounds and feels great. I love it, however when I was cleanin up my room yesterday I gasket feel out of the box that held my high flow....Crap. How bad is it if I missed a gasket. The gasket that didnt get installed is the one connecting the downpipe...we used the orignal donut that was there...what kind of problems if any could this cause????

 

As long as the original was in good shaoe you should be fine.

 

well the stock is 2.5 but your turboback could be 3 inches, which means your gasket is slightly restricting flow but its ok.

 

As long as I do get any leaks, im ok right? How do I know if i have a leak?

 

Meh, I dont trust stock parts. I would change it, although... Im just strange like that.

 

My exhaust didn't come with any new gaskets.... hehehe... So I now have stock 3" gaskets.... :: man, a dremel has a million uses::

 

there really wasnt a gasket where the downpipe is ( i think) there was just the donut (rubber piece)

 

agreed, this is a steel ring with wire mess that the downpipe presses against to seal up.... the factory downpipe has a beveled lip to it and most of the new downpipes don't. what kinda exhaust system is it. all you have to do, or this is what I did. just use a flat head screw driver and pry inbetween the 02 houseing the the factory dunout gasket.. then get a some pliars and pull if off... that's what I had to do to make my downpipe fit to my 02 housing... or are you talking about the downpipe to the cat(delete) pipe... if you for got to use it it's no big deal... you just need to put one back in there. because you might get an exhaust leak.

Chad, i am talking about where the downpipe connects to the donut up top (directly to the intake mainfold/turbo)That is where i didnt use gasket - i only used the donut. I have agasket where the dp & my high flow cnnects and where my high flow connects to the cat back..so i should be good then, no? Also, just outta curiostity what r u dynoin at?

 

Yes, you should be fine with that. As long as your DP has a beveled inner lip (mine did, and many do) you'll be fine. The only one you'll need for the DP will be between the DP and cat/test pipe.

 

you should be ok

i think you should be ok as well....hope everything works out.

 

yes you are fine. If you had an exhaust leak, you would hear a tick,tick,tick,tick sound.

 

thanx fellas
