Exhaust work

Reason why not to buy a cheap muffler. Also what happens when you go auto crossing with the exhaust draging. RE 's system is known for hanging low but after going off road at Fort Knox to get to an autocross event this is what happened.

Get the Felpro brand gasket from Autozone. It is an all metal gasket made out of the same material as the exhaust manifold gaskets are. It's a few dollars more, but really worth it. I think mine was $3.99. I ordered mine from autozone and they had it in the next day....

If it's the standard 2 bolt type. Last time I needed one I went down to the local muffler shop and they had them. Otherwise you can go to a Napa store and they have a illustrated paper catalog that show the gaskets. You just take down your sample to match. If you don't have an old sample just take down the pipe.
