Recently one of my exhaust gaskets blew off and I recently just ordered a 3 inch gasket from ebay and its already been a week and half and i havent recieved it. Thats a whole other story tho I have already sent a dispute on ebay.

But basically what I want to know is if it is ok to be driving without it? Im sure its causing some back pressure and a leak but besides affecting performance anything else i should worry about? This is my daily driver so i have no choice to drive it. I have nowhere else to buy a 3 inch gasket except online and I cant really not drive to wait for shipping. So what do you guys think

 

I think its ok unless leak is in manifold.
You can even run without whole exhaust.

 

Why don't you get one from an auto parts store?

 

I've had a 3" gasket laying around for a year. I'll give it to you for the price of shipping.

 

you could go to a local parts store and get some permatex gasket maker

 

I had a whole in my cat flange for a while before it snapped in half, no problems before that. Only thing is you might get some exhaust fumes in the cabin.

 

Thanks guys. And I dont know auto parts store has a 3 inch gasket and im lazy to look. I will be getting it done soon I just was wondering. And yes i do get exhaust fumes in the car yuck

 

lol its not a big deal wei... i used to drive around open downpipe

 

yeah i think i have had a exhuast leak for some time now as well and theres no problems...
