Dump Pipe Question

[Kenna802]

hi all bought a s/steel dump pipe by monster performanve and have removed the original pipe. Between the turbo and dump i found a copper gasket and between the dump and front pipe i found no gasket at all. Any ideas??? i'm having a mongrel of a time lining up the dump pipe to the front pipe ( although its hard trying to hold a torch and line up 3 holes and also put the threads in )

there should be gaskets between the dump and the pipe... and yeh unbolt the middle of the exhaust and put the pipe onto the dump first then do the middle...

the stock front pipe has a press in lip for the stock dump, there is no gasket.

AFAIK you cannot use the stock front pipe with a aftermarket dump, so i think if you buy a 3" frontpipe too and a gasket ull be fine.
