I am putting my exhaust on tonight. Every friggin parts store I went to did not have the gasket for the passenger side midpipe in stock. Will I be ok using the existing gasket? I don't want to wait any longer to install this, but if I have to, then so be it.

Someone doublecheck me on this but don't they use crush gaskets for exhaust meaning it's not safe to reuse?

i mean if you dont have a gasket, its all you got. but youre supposed to replace them.

hrmm. Well, I'll play it by ear. If it looks bad, I'll wait to get a new one.

Very iffy man. I've done it before and had no problems. Then the next time I did it I looked at the gasket and it was ALL tore up. Give it a shot. If it's a really really bad leak, I wouldn't drive it.

i re-used the same gasket, and had no problems at all. thats was more then 2 months ago. i checked for leaks up there, and all is good.

Nice. I just ordered the gasket, it'll be here tomorrow morning. So I'll use the old one, and if it leaks, I have a new one to replace it. I am so friggin pumped to put this on. I'll post a clip when it's done.

That gasket leaks all the time on aftermarket systems . Use high temp gasket sealer the copper kind .

Just get one from Ford
Almost certainly it's gonna leak!

Well, exhaust is done, and it doesn't leak. So far. I drove it about 10 miles after installing and got the system hot, no leaks. Hopefully it stays that way. Oh, and BTW. Sounds wicked.
