Hi Guys,

 

Whilst swapping around exhaust systems, i got wondering if there was an alternative to slapping on tube after tube of firegum, so does anyone have any idea where i can get exhaust gasket material to cut to shape, and one i dont have to wait 32 days for...

Which part of the exhaust do you need the gaskets for?

I need it for the bottom of the downpipes and then in the middle of a scorpion exhaust which is prob the "usual" shape. Not sure of size.

Well I'm pretty sure that 3 bolt flanges you normally find transit gaskets fit there, depending on the size obviously. Which makes them easy to get hold of. If not look on eBay, you can find 2 and 3 bolt flanges quite easy and cheaply. I'm assuming they are just the usual sort of 2 bolt flanges on a 2.5" pipe?

You can get 2.5" and 3", 2 bolt and 3 bolt on ebay mate, You could probably get them at a decent autofactors as well:thumbup1:

dont bother with gaskets,silicone sealer will work fine i assure you.

Guys, thanks for your help, i've managed to get gaskets the right size for each join, Thats great. Quick question now, When joining the pipework do i just rely on the gasket making a good join, or do i use something like firegum as well.

No need for gum. Gaskets will compress and seal normally
