Default Exhaust Question

Just picked up a used B&B exhaust think it is either the PRT or Route 66 unit.
Do I need to get a gasket for the flange connections??? If so where can one be optained? :confused:

I would use new gaskets. You can get them from your dealer or from Pep Boys, etc. Enjoy. BTW, if the new mufflers are full size, they are TriFlos or Route 66s. :yesnod: :)

Thanks for the info. I will be installing them Friday or Saturday.
Hope these add some better sound than the stock mufflers.

Installed and I can say they do take away the wimpy sound and add a muscle sound to the car. Not to say that the looks and weight make a difference.
Muffler shop had them installed in less than 30 minutes and only charged $45.00. Only reason I put $ figure in is that I got plenty of other prices and some wanted to charge on a time basis but these guys at Fair Muffler said no problem and really knew what to do. I watch them install them and I could tell that this was not there first job. They were as professional as the factory mechanics doing to replacing and Mid America's fest last September.
