Good online store to order quality exhaust gaskets? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Matt300ZXT · 12-15-2007, 12:30 PM

Hey guys, going to be installing my Megan exhaust stuff soon and not sure if I trust the gaskets that came with it. Plus, I need some gaskets to use on the cat and catback that I got used. The ones that came with the new downpipe and o2 elbow look like this:

and I'm not sure if I trust those after hearing some stories about the pack in gaskets blowing out. So I'm curious what online store carries a better quality gasket, so I can just get a whole kit of the good stuff and won't have to worry about them blowing out a few months down the road.

I use the gasket that comes with it along with a small bead of high temp RTV. Worked for me for the last year without any problems.

I got a Megan cat delete for my s14, and those gaskets seemed pretty good. They were nice and stiff, thick, and seem to seal pretty well.

What about those? I checked Enjuku Racing and they have gaskets just like the ones that Megan packs in, but for 1 3 bolt style and 1 2 bolt style, they want nearly $20 for the gaskets and damn $15 to ship them. Forget those guys, are they shipping from the moon? Jeez. Anyways, couldn't I just get enough of these copper gaskets from Summit Racing and do the exhaust? 3 bolt or 2 bolt 3" inner diameter gaskets are universal right?

What about OEM gaskets?

its usually the turbo gaskets that fail. these should be fine. but if you want that "just-in-case" thing then just pick up some OEM ones. cant go wrong with oem.

Matt300ZXT · 12-15-2007, 11:02 PM

I've got a guy that works at Nissan up here, going to see what he can get me a metal t25 gasket to go between the turbo and the o2 outlet. I have a stock metal one in there, can I reuse it or do the metal ones only get one use out of them?

soreballz · 12-15-2007, 11:14 PM

Searching will bring wonderful answers.

Look up REMFLEX. Its good shit.

SRpetey · 12-16-2007, 02:14 AM

Great stuff.

Matt300ZXT · 12-16-2007, 09:47 AM

Ok I'm going with Remflex, their GT25 GT28 turbo gasket looks kinda funny, but if it fits a GT25 I'm going to assume it fits a T25 stocker. One other question, which of the 2 bolt gaskets do I need? They've got 3" 4 1/8" bolt spacing, and a 3" 3 31/32 to 4 1/2" bolt hole spacing. With my tape measure, measuring from roughly the center of one side to the roughly center of another, I'm getting roughly 4 1/4ish inches. I just want to see if anyone else knew the exact one to get so in case I'm measuring something wrong, I don't order the wrong gasket.

On the cat and cat back these gaskets will be fine.

I've used these over and over again.
