I have been going crazy, no autoparts carries them. Is the dealer the only option?

 

Also gotten mine from ABC Auto if you wacky CA have them there

 

Never heard of it.

 

Buy them from the dealer. aftermarket Y pipe gaskets are crap. (even WSP buys them from the dealer to send with their kits)

 

yea... had to get it from them for my muffler + y-pipe. only couple $$ more expensive than local autoshop.

 

now I'm confused.... dmontzmax or dmontzsta? jeeze quit forgetting/remembering passwords...

 

Are the gaskets crap that come w/ the B pipe from Budget? If so, I guess I should replace 'em.

 

Thanks Matt, I will just do that, cause I dont want to be replacing some crap after a few months.

Gone: dmontzmax was my original name, when .org was updated a while back it nuked my name, now with the new .org it is fixed.

 

Dunno.. never seen a budget product myself, but I was there when WSP tried to use aftermarket ones on their first test-fits.. found out they were crap, but luckily they had some OEM gaskets too.. since the first Y pipe they bolted up at the Dallas dyno day, they've been using OE gaskets.

 

Exhaust shops always have have gaskets and rings and all that stuff at the shops.

Not sure how much of a difference it is from the dealer but most of their stuff is quite a bit less.

 

The ones listed there for the 3rd gen were the crappy paper/substrate gaskets.

the ones from the dealer are quite a bit more $$, but they're several layers of stainless steel w/ ridges to make it form a springy seal.. they won't come apart or blow out like the paper gaskets will.

Copper Silicone

 

1 word:
reusable

 

The 3 gaskets for the VQ are only about $10 total from the dealer. What's the big deal?

 

The gaskets I got from WSP were the cheap ones, whereas the ones I got from the dealer were $8 each and made of metal. I have one left if you want it, dmontzmax.

 

Hm.. maybe they quit sending the OE gaskets with the pipes...

 

I know, just giving ya crap. Its like new old school again.... kind of

 

I haven't had a problem with the "cardboard" gaskets yet, but when I get a straight pipe, I'm going with OEM again

 

I like red silicone the best. I hate the cardboard gaskets. I usually go to a friends shop and borrow "wink, wink" the gaskets I need. Its nice having friends with unlimited amounts of shop supplies. Nick

 

borrow gaskets.... I wish I could do that



Can I borrow a piece of gum, or maybe a piece of paper, or a scantron for this test...

 

Part #14036AG000 - Is that for all of the gaskets, from the y-pipe to the muffler? $26.91

 

Bump......

 

aftermarket ones are cheap. i stopped by an exhaust pro shop and he put some metal ones on the car off a 300zx and told me to go off and try to blow these! ha ha!
