To Goo Or Not To Goo

[Dragonforce]

G'day guys,

Im looking to install my new 3" X-force exhaust tomorrow and was wondering is it reccomended to use a gasket cement on all the joins (including the turbo/dump, for which i have a brand new metal nissan gasket) Or if I should only use it between the cat and other pipe pieces?

Any experience you have had in this matter would help me heaps!

Ill take some pics and post up a bit of a how to if things go well to!

Thanks heaps,

Dragonforce

Goo it, it cant hurt.

make sure the gasket cement is rated for use on exhausts, as they get to several hundred degrees.

that said, i've never used it and never had any leaks.

not needed. just use the gaskets.

ive used exhaust cement on the catback and cats,

worked a treat, no leaks and its been like 6months now.

Go for it, but only if you are planning on selling it before you need to take any of it off

Nothing to add to this thread, but a semi-related question - Anyone know where I can get the gasket that goes between the front pipe and the cat in Sydney?

Thanks

any exhuast shop dude. it just a standard 2 bolt gasket of what ever pipe size you want.

Thanks, I went to a local Midas but they wanted me to give em the old one (don't have the old one, hence me wanting a new one) or a template of the exhaust size and shape. I'd rather only pull the exhaust off once so wasn't keen on that idea.

here you go, looks like this

hole centers are 105mm. this pic is for a 3" exhuast. std 32 exhuast is about 2.5"ish
