Help! Fast Intentions exhaust install question

KevinB · 01-14-2012, 11:44 AM

Alright i feel stupid but before i go any further with my install i have a quick question ...

When i connect the midpipe and x pipe of my fast intentions install it says to put the two bolt gaskets between these pipes. In my package of parts sent with the exhaust there are four of these gaskets supplied. Each gasket is single ply whereas the gaskets that connect the muffler to the x pipe at the back (three bolt gaskets) are two ply and only one for each side.

So did they give me an extra set of gaskets or am i supposed to put two together on each side?

On a side note, i love this exhaust and i havent even heard it yet!

IMO, it will not hurt to put the 2 gaskets in. I used to double up on header and collector pipe gaskets on all my hot rod builds to keep it leak free.

If they are single ply, then yes you'll want 2 on each side.

I spoke w Tony and one is all that is needed because of the special type of gasket they make.

Cool! Looks like the extras you could use to make the tips even.
