Default midpipe install

do the 99 + GTs have a manifold to midpipe gasket on the passanger side or do i not need to worry about gaskets.... i could have sworn that the 99+ didnt use any gaskets in the exhaust... someone told me i need to get that gasket but that goes against what i thought... so if i do infact need that gasket let me know. if the entire exhaust system on the 99+ is gasket free... let me knwo... either way .. let me know lol

thanks guys

passenger side manifold midpipe- to-manifold is the only one with a gasket. You should get one from Ford or 50Resto.com. you won't find it at an autoparts store.

Thats true. I heard that those gaskets suck anyways.

Yeah they are oval shaped with a perferated rasied seal. I didn't replace mine the first time and it leaked when I went to put in the new one the peferated center broke out of the old one. It was a bitch because I couldn't get my hands up to disconnect the front O2s and had to do it with the pipe still in place[&:]
