Question Need some help with gaskets!

I have a Greddy TI-C 3 inch exhaust, RSR catless dp 3 inch, and meagan o2 housing. What I was wonder is what I would need in order to replace all the stock gaskets I have and where to get them? Could I just get OEM all the way o2 gasket/donut gasket? How many will I need of each?


Thanks in advance,

-Chris

when i did my exhaust i used all the factory gaskets again with no problems i also used the donut gasket on the o2 housing again just carved it out a lil to make it fit over the new o2 housing... why would you want to get new gaskets if the stockers are fine?

Everyone tells me this is what needs to be done! They say I will have exhaust leaks if I do not!

Pretty sure the stock gaskets are only 2 1/2 inch or whatever the stock exhaust is. Get some three inch gaskets. They should have come with your exhaust if you got it new. Or you should be able to get them at any import performance shop.

Stock donut gasket is fine unless you really f it up when you do the swap. I've never replaced mine.

Definitely, stay strictly with the stock Mitsu donut and O2 gaskets. Don't mess with that shiny, cheap aftermarket junk. Been there, done that! Just reuse your original ones.
