Prangy Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Alright so in about a month I am looking at getting a magnaflow exhaust cat set up. I already have an exhaust leak from the down pipe to the convertor. I was going to replace all the bolts and the springs that are with the bolts to make this easier becasue they are basically all just rust when I looked. I want to make it leak proof also, so I was wondering from this website what gaskets I need to make it leak proof. I am keeping the stock convertor on there. http://www2.partstrain.com/v5/products.php...4294967013+5573 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 why not just get gaskets from napa or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 if your cat is original , it might not be no goo once you get it off. the flanges rust pretty bad. the gasket that goes in the 3 bolt flange from cat to downpipe is just a squish ring , third one down on the list in your link. good luck cleaning out the groove for a new one , lol. the gasket that goes in the manny to downpipe 2 bolt flange is the cone shaped lead/mesh gasket. the manny 4 into 2 connection is also 2 of those squish rings. again , good luck cleaning out the grooves.

Prangy Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Haha kk well Idk I do have a test pipe my friend gave me, but i am in the city and that wont fly. I can register my car some where else, but I would feel bad with more fumes going into the air. Is there a horrible amount out of my civic with a test pipe? I probably will go to napa I was just trying to get an idea and wasn't sure if they just sell exhaust gasket sets. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP-03RSXR Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Luckily I live in NM right now. I have a test-pipe on my Civic and there is no noticable change in exhaust fumes. Having it inspected though, I don't know... I've seen cars pass as long as they don't look under it, it all depends on how rich/lean your engine is running... it's your choice- see what the penalties are in your state for getting caught with a test pipe- they do all say "not for legal street use" or something to that effect. But, like I said, you can look at my exhaust and you won't notice (smell/see) any difference in the fumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 alright man well, actually I live in the city of Milwaukee right now and in wisconsin u need to have your car tested every two years. It is called the valley or something like that and it goes up a couple of counties and you have to get tested. I will be goign to college out of here towards Iowa soon and i think my car will still be registered here. I was thinking of registering it up north wisconsin, which does not have to have it tested then. Have a cabin up there so just use that address. I think that would work and I will not be in Milwaukee anyways so I think taht will work out. I just wanted some input on other expierences thanks man.
