1978 FJ40 Exhaust Installation (1 Viewer)

[777sam]

Hi,
I purchased an exhaust system for my 78 FJ. My issue is that the (manifold end) flange on the down pipe is cocked and I’m not sure if the protruding pipe is long enough. Does the portion of the down-pipe protruding above the flange need to butt up to the donut gasket firmly and square? The other end seems to fit OK with the center exhaust segment.

Thanks much,
Sam

From what I recall, the extruding pipe is mostly moot - the donut gets pressed between a pocket/recess in the manifold and the flat flange on the downpipe. (At least on my '76)
