Guy, I'm ready to install my new Greddy exhaust, and I read that a new 'gasket' should be installed anytime you switch an exhaust...I checked the part diagram, and all I could see is 'ring seal' for that connection.

Is this the 'gasket' I should be getting?

 

is it the "ring seal" that goes between the down pipe and exhaust? if so, then i believe thats it, because the gasket that goes between the down pipe and rest of the exhaust looks like a donut that gets wedged between the 2 gaskets inside the piping.

 

Yea, it's a round shaped seal that goes in the pipe. That seal is expensive! $25cdn at the dealer.

I just wanted to make sure if this is the right part to get, as it looks way different than a typical exhaust gasket...thanks for the help!

 

Actually, can I just get an unverisal exhaust gasket instead of the OEM ring seal?

 

i bought one... they told me I needed it... when I didnt.. lol i wont say what dealer.. but sigh... lol the sucker that i am.. if its the same big ring thing, ican sell you mine for just above half its price

 

Lol...so do I REALLY need this ring then?

 

my exhaust was put back together once WITHOUT that ring thing and it had a MAJOR exhaust leak. you HAVE to have some sort of gasket there......
