I've had my O/R x-pipe on for maybe 3,000 miles or so and I'm going to be swapping the catted x-pipe back on since my inspection is creeping up around the corner.

Do I have to buy another thingy, for the lack of a better word, to put in between the passenger side pipe and the manifold? Even if the pipe has only been on for about 3k?

Wow... have any of you had such a serious brain fart that you can't even remember a simple word? LMAO. Oh well you know what I mean by "thingy".

 

uh...gasket?

 

Wow thank you. How sad is that. My fart was so bad I couldn't remember the word "gasket".

But yes. Do I need to get a new gasket again?

 

are you gonna put the o/r x back on after your inspection

 

Maybe. Maybe not. Not sure really. I'll probably wait to get a new catback before I do.

 

when i swapped my stock midpipe to an o/r h i changed it out, but then i got a catted x and i didnt change it out. but i only had it on for about 100 miles before i switched to a catted mid. but i dont have any problems with it so far. just look at it if it looks beat up get another one if not then use it over.

 

Good point. It's not like they're expensive either.

 

If you bend or kink the one on there now when you take off the x pipe, get a new one. If not, use it. It's not like it's been on that long. Even my stock on that was there for 40k miles was OK to re-use when I changed to the O/R x. I had already bought a new one, though, just to be sure, so I changed it.

 

yeah i got mine for like $8 at a local ford parts dealer, i got it before i started to work on it just so i would have it if i needed it.

 

I will probably end up doing the same thing.
