penguin Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hey guys, pretty sure this questions been answered many times, and yes i have done a search but came up with nothing relevent .... anyhow, since having the decat done, i've noticed strange "noises" when the car idles... no, its not the tickover, its actually comming from the joins on the decat pipes.... i wasnt given gaskets with the pipes, so the bloke at garage made me some from scrap metal he had..... i'm now assuming its this thats causing the problem, so now i want to know if i need to get standard gaskets from toyota ( i think my decat is 3' all the way to the catback exhaust which is 4')... or do i need to get them custom made? what materials should i be using? i would like to have this done by the weekend as i have a "competition" with an sti hence want to run full 1.2bar (i'm going to take out the restrictor ring too, as my exhuast seems pretty restrictive..... as its not hitting fuel cut at 1bar ) and kick his a$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I've got an HKS SuperDragger and just bought an Apexi 2nd decat pipe. I need gaskets! Help fellas. Who sells them? I'm looking for a gasket from 2nd decat to exhaust and 1st cat to 2nd decat pipe. Might as well fit new hardware while I'm at it if anybody has a line on it. Unsure of diameters, but eventually I'll be buying and fitting a 1st decat as well. Thanks for the help ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 We sell 3" metal gaskets for aftermarket exhausts/decats etc, we know they are a nightmare to get hold of, it took us months to find a supplier. They are £5 each. Regards, Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Excellent Gaz. I'm gonna' try to get the car up on the lift this weekend and take a look at diameters and I will let you know. I will probably need two. I'll PM you with the address if you can let me know what shipping would be. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
