DD a BJ42 with kids ... Why yes I do

Replaced the exhaust dounut .... Two of the bolt were stripped at the end hand filed them and got a better gap Hope it seals

Mounted my Smittybily Comp Air. Had to add some rubber around the tube but it fits great

Also my Toyota factory donut gasket lasted 10 miles before it leaked ...anyone make a gasket to cover the whole flag area ??? Did it work ???

 

[kling-on]

Well I cut a gasket out to match the whole flange ... Looks like a lot of meat I hope it works better... Scary small exhaust huh

 

[warpdriv]

that looks like a header collector flange gasket

 

[kling-on]

It is sorta is ... It's from the manifold to the down pipe

My wife had a great cake made for my bday.... Love it

Nothing new to post ... Just been driving it

How'd that gasket work out? Still leak free on the exhaust?

 

[kling-on]

So far so good I have 5-600 miles on it and the stockers lasted 20-40

 

[kling-on]

Well may gasket finally failed ... 3k miles

Looking around I see pics that look like this part of the exhaust pipe sticks up just a little mine is flat... Any idea if this is part of the problem ??

I havent seen an oem flange in quite some time ... Can't tell ya if that would be an issue or not...

I liked your gasket too

Is there a remflex that would work... Or you own again ... But copper

That does suck

I'd make a gasket out of copper sheet - as well as add a braided stainless flex section into the exhaust - something in the hangers is causing it to move around too much . I'd imagine a locating ring if that's what was used on the oem kept that from happening - without it the problem will keep coming back .
