Xpipe and gaskets

Silver96GT · June 9th, 2008, 11:49 AM

For those of you that switched out your xpipes already did you put in new gaskets? I'm doing mine this weekend and the current gaskets are 12 years old. I just don't want to be SOL this weekend. Thanks

I did because my old one fell apart when I took the pipe off...

There's only one gasket, and it's on the passenger side header. I really wish they would have done a gasketless connection there like they did on the rest of them. It's a PITA- you'll see

Thank you so much for the information. I would have bought two like a DA as I'm sure they would not have asked me why I was buying them. I can't wait to get everything on! I bought the car with Mac mufflers on it and can't wait to switch out to the new Magnaflow catted x and cat-back.

I would try to get one from Ford as the fel-pro one they gave me at autozone didn't fit. Good luck to ya

Everything went on great! I love the new found power and the sound is awesome. Thanks again for the help. Here are a few pics.

it's a very faint noise but if you concentrate hard enough, the pictures do sound nice.
