Ti exhaust??????
Hi, I am putting on a Ti exhaust thanks to a memeber here and was just wondering if I need to replace the gaskets? or anything else I should need to bolt these up.
Thanks in advance,
Tony P.

Because of the heat, the gaskets grow soft and often when you remove the exhaust from the car, your gasket will stick a bit. Recommend that you spend the $10-$15 and replace them. I have swapped my exhaust 4 times and each time I replaced the gaskets to save myself the headache of happening to replace them later. Your call, if you have very low miles you maybe able to get away with reusing them with little issues.

Ok thanks for the information....where can I get the gaskets and can I just use generic ones from say "NAPA"? Also, can someone let me know where they got theirs and if they know the part #?
Thanks,
