Hey guys I have the EPM 02 dump and a megan downpipe and while doing my clutch last weekend I notice a lot of soot on the dump pipe, looked like it was coming from where the downpipe and o2 dump pipe mate. I have a stock donut gasket installed and the bolts supplied with the dump installed

My question is what bolts/gaskets do people use to prevent this leak? and Where can I get it from

Thanks

 

no idea but i have the same down pipe and 02 so let me know what u find out... i havn't put mine on yet tho

 

Use the stock down pipe bolts, the ones with the springs on them.

 

The EPM o2 Dump is threads for bigger bolts then the stock one. I just went to HD and got regular bolts. Is your donut gasket damaged?

 

Try a new donut gasket. That's pretty dumb you can't reuse the stock spring bolts.

 

My donut gasket was damaged and caused the same leak ... a pretty bad one. I had cranked down my DP on my old O2 housing and that's what damaged it. When I installed the EPM, the leak showed up. Swapping the donut gasket solved the issue.

 

thanks much everybody now i need a donut gasket any 4 sale

 

update I installed a new oem gasket and im still leaking. Im running out of ideas any help. The area the leak is coming from is near the donut gaskt

 

Fighters Garage uses a high temp gasket material. Call them on monday.


GL bro!

 

thanks vin

 

I had this same problem after my new clutch install. I just used hi-temp gasket maker around the outside of the donut. Problem solved.

 

will have to try that. I did notice that the stock donut gasket did not seat properly. What gasket do people use with the megan racing downpipes
