So I'll be installing my MAC CB when it arrives in a week. I plan on replacing the two gaskets that are between the stock CB and stock midpipe. I don't want to deal with RTV and all - I'd rather just replace the gaskets.

My question is, where should I get them? Does Autozone/O'Reilly's carry them? I'm sure the local Ford dealership does but I'm also sure they will be more expensive there. Also, what is the official name of this particular gasket so I don't sound like a fool when I ask them? haha...

Thanks for the help guys..

 

there aren't any gaskets for those connections, did u look under ur car?

 

There is Gaskets btwn the catback and the midpipe? Maybe thats why mine leaks a little!

 

Oh, fo sho? Lol I just assumed there were. I haven't actually inspected the connection closely yet. The CB hasn't even arrived yet. That makes things more simple I guess. So, leaks are uncommon at that joint as long as you take your time, get everything on straight, and tighten uniformly?

 

Yep that's right.. the midpipe to catback is held together simply by two bolts on each side of it. Make sure when you change it out, and your trying to manuveur the new pipes in over the axle, that your jackstands arent compressing the suspension lol.. I did this the first time and almost freaked out when I couldn't get the pipes over the axle, then my friend's dad was like dude... lol.

 

Haha, okay thanks for the tip. Well cool. Now I don't have to deal with buying gaskets, yet.. Are there gaskets between the headers and midpipe? I know the other end of the headers has a gasket. I will be doing LTs and an H eventually so I might as well ask now.
