all the .org links are broken in the how to section and such. google turned up nothing.

im pretty sure i know everything, but: what special tools do i need besides common sockets and an o2 socket. what size crush rings are needed?

a link to a guide or an equipment list would be infinitely helpful as i plan on installing today and doing a butt dyno test.

Theres a write up in here:

what size crush ring is needed from the ypipe to the cat?

local kragen is out it seems.. the ones from header to ypipe are listed as needing 2 and in stock..

It's not a crush ring, it's a multi-layer metal. OEM ftmfw, they're cheap enough and much better quality, and most nissan dealers have them in stock. Use a propane torch to heat all the y-pipe to manifold bolts up, every once in awhile they snap, more so on the rear, and then it's a biotch to deal with, so always use heat.

Really? When I got mine at the dealer they called it a crush ring gasket. Now, I'm sure the dealer could've been wrong, they have been before, but I've always heard people refer to them as Crush ring gaskets.

Y-manifold are crush rings, all other exhaust connections are two bolt multi layer gaskets.

and this is what i got. i got 2 crush rings and a 2 bolt metallic flange gasket

Haha woops I misunderstood KRRZ350 since I didn;t read the post before his right. Oh well, continue on thread.
