where can I buy a complete exhaust gasket kit??

 

umm racing beat may have them....


OR

You can go buy some head gasket material in a sheet and cut your own out. I ended up doing that because a bent/warped dp kept blowing them.

 

hmm didn't think about that, could I get that at any parts store???

 

I got a complete set from "antistatic_speed" off ebay. $39.95 + $8.00 shipping.

Sweet, those are exactly what I need. There's 6 of them, correct?

I hope he has more for sale.

 

I herd those suck ***. many people have blown them. I had a thred on this a few weeks ago. I ended up going to advanced auto and ordering it through them. It was cheeper then the dealer and they seem to be good quaility.

 

I think only TurboII guys blew the copper gaskets so I think he should be ok.

 

oh woops. ya your right. those work fine for NA's as fare as i know. But i do know plenty of T2 guys running stock boost and blowing them pretty easy which makes me think about the quality.

 

how much for the ones at advance auto parts? did they have them in stock??

 

oh yeah I have an HKS super dragger system will they work that setup??

 

just get the racingbeat gaskets. there good quality gaskets.

 

yeah go to www.speedmachineperformance.com
they have sets of racing beat gasket kits

 

racing beat's own site has em for cheaper

 

or save your money and buy at tube of RTV red.... 7.99 at advance auto

 

how do we use it....do we cover the old gasket with it?

 

You're joking, right?

Whoever worked on my exhaust before I owned the car tried that and it just succeeded in blowing RTV all over the exhaust shields.

Personally, I think I'm going to suck it up, go to the Mazda dealership and pick up the high-temp spec OEM ones. They're $8.00 a piece, and there's 6 (manifold > precats > cat in > cat out > 2x y-pipe > muffler.

I think that's all of them. That copper might work because it'll crush nice between the two sections, but I don't know how it would handle the crooked connections that most of us face thanks to age.

 

I also reccomend the racing beat gaskets. I've had to pop out my exhaust components and reassemble them many, many times, and never needed to replace these gaskets.

 

Next time you're over, lets put some of that on the exhaust leak that I've got.

It'll work great; for about five minutes.

 

what size are they?

i'm getting a 2.5 header that goes to the y pipe...will i need to cut them, and will they be hard to cut

 

Well my piping is 3" from the turboback, will these fit?

 

anyone?

 

Mine is 2.5

Just order the gasket that is right for you

If you all werent so lazy, you'd go to the site and read up on the gaskets they sell ^_^

 

Update

The copper gaskets on ebay didn't work for me.

Got a sheet of exhaust gasket material for $8 and cut my own.

It's not as easy as it sounds. I used a punch to make the bolt holes and a gasket cutter to cut the inside openings. Then I lightly tapped in the edges with a ball pin hammer to flatten out any ridges created during cutting. The gasket sheet had metal on one side and fake asbestos on the othe side, so I sandwiched two gaskets with the metal facing out and glued them together with a thin film of permatex high temp copper.

Hey it worked, no more exhaut leaks.

 

Where did you get the exhaust gasket material from?

 

Auto parts store. Its for making header gaskets.
