Got my 3 in cattman finally, laid it all out, and am wondering, aren't there supposed to be gaskets for all the different flange sections, or is it just metal on metal? I only got 1 gasket foot the cat and catback.

 

I was wondering the same thing.....only got one gasket. I know Brian sent an email out concerning gaskets on y-pipe and fast cat, but don't know about the catback exhaust.

 

i thought the 3" was sent in a manner for it to be welded together...am i wrong? its suppose to be bolt on?

 

Nah man...it's a straight bolt on...no welding at all needed.

 

ohhhh thats some goodness! FYI when i had my axleback installed, they didnt use a gasket....

 

Ya there is 3 sections that bolt together with flanges, then u use the existing hardware from the cat, unless ur like me and have to cut rusted bolts off. Just stems like there should be gaskets. Its to early here for me to cal brian and see wuts up.

 

when someone finds out post back...ALSO which direction the fast cat goes on? long side facing engine or short side facing engine?? I KNOW THERE WAS A POST ABOUT THIS...searched and serached....can't find it.....so RE POSTING the question!!!

 

Mine came with 2 3" one time use gaskets....and for the fastcat not really sure if there is a right way or wrong I just put the stamped side with the info facing down...good luck to all...my set up is off my car since 03the totaled waiting on time to install on the 02 Max....

 

Call Cattman if you think anything is missing. Also, did your units not come with directions?

Mine came with directions and gaskets.

 

Called cattman, haven't heard back yet, bought some hi temp copper gasket maker just in case. My instructions consist of 1 piece of paper that say installation advice. Not a clear set of instructions, ask vary pleased with the exhaust tho, gonna start bolting it up soon!

^ * still vey pleased *

 

Browse summit and look for a 2-bolt, 3" diameter SCE copper you'll need 2 and that's it......or have Cattman sent you the other gaskets!

 

I found a website where you can just buy some gaskets.....no need to bother Brian:

3" (80mm) 2 Bolt Exhaust Gasket

They also have those heavy duty exhaust hangers as well, to hold that new 3" MONSTER catback in place, cheaper than those NISMO ones:

i need to order those hangers

 

Ooohhh, nice find. I'm gonna order some of those

 

Brian will send them free of charge though.

I just use the cheap asz hose clamp method for my hangers .

 

Yea just spoke w/ brian. He's sending out the gaskets 4 free. Thanks for reminding me about the cheap way. Hose clamps FTW

 

They seem to shift from time to time with the hose clamps and I am seriously contemplating getting dedicated stiffer hangers.

I don't want to have to tighten them every few months.

 

Hey...can't beat free.....but the exhaust hangers are still a good buy.

 

3 inch installed! sounds great! Not as loud as I thought it was gonna be, but that's not a bad thing. Really tho it seems like it wants to get loud but then I have to shift. To the track on friday to see how much faster I really am. Have a start up vid from my phone that I will post for u who want it, will try to get better camera soon.

 

This.

 

Great price on those! And that site is legit. I'll have to order some of those soon.
