Im getting ready to instal my max o/r x pipe this weekend. I know that it is common for leaks to occur so I was hoping someone knows what kind and where to get the gaskets. Im thinking I will need 4 gaskets for each connection but dont know if the gaskets are flange, manifold, etc.
help!

I didnt need gaskets on my setup: Long tubes, max x pipe, mac cat back but thats becuase mac uses a unique system. Its kinda like a flange system so you dont need gaskets. I did on my old x pipe though when i had stock headers and x pipe and custom side pipes.

what are the gaskets called because i looked up some types at parts stores and I saw different ones. Are the triangular looking ones the right type to use?

Most midpipes come with a new gasket, and u only need one for the whole exhaust if your just doing midpipe/catback. The passengar side midpipe is the only one that requires a gasket to seal with the headers; the drivers side connects the same way that the midpipe does to the catback. If your x pipe didnt come with a new one, just go to ford and pay like 10 bucks for one.

i used all the same gaskets and no leaks. like stated before basically everything is a flange design. if i remember the only gasket on my exhaust that needed to be put back on was the passenger side manifold. i think the drivers side was a flange also, with aftermarket exhaust stuff its all flanges. i could be wrong. it was a while since i did my exhaust

Ya its all flanged except the passenger side midpipe to headers.
