im getting a rb dual outlet header for my 12a, and was wondering....do i need to get a special gasket for it, or can i just use a new factory manifold gasket?

and what about the other end...the dual outlet. i'll have to have a y pipe made for this, is there a special gasket i need to get for this end? i remember my other fb i had, i had an exhaust made at a shop from the manifold back, and the gasket they used from the manifold to the custom pipe, kept blowing out. i had to keep replacing it about every 3 months. i guess i could check RB's site

they should send a gasket with the header, i have the dual to single header and mine came with a gasket. as far as the other end, i'm pretty sure it just bolts up to the exhaust.

 

well im buying the header used, so i will still need to get a gasket, but does it have to be a RB gasket?

 

no it doesnt have to be from racing beat, but you can order one from them. it probably would be better though for a better seal.

 

dealer, RB, mazdatrix = same ****.

 

ok, so a regular gasket that would be used on a factory exhaust manifold will work with the header then?

 

Yes. I even use them in my 13-B (cut the 12-A gasket in hafl) since my local dealer is always out of 13-B gasket.

 

VB has the exhaust gasket for 15 bucks.

 

thanks guys
