Not sure about this so thought I'd ask...
I have the MAF ceramic headers cat back yada yada on my FJ60.
Y connector rusted out, cat all broken up and poured out the pieces, muffler to tailpipe great shape.
Got the new Y connector from MAF this week, everything taken apart and ready to reinstall without a cat, doing the welding of the flanges to the straight pipe connecting Y to muffler. Everything will remain "bolt on"
Here's my questions (1) Do I use any gasket or sealant for my flange-to-flange bolt ons? If so, what? (2) At the header to the y connector, the connection is like a bubble flare with brakcets and bolts to draw them tight into each other. Do I need to put some sort of sealant at these joints? If so, what?
So there you have it, two type of joints, two questions regarding gasket or sealant!
Thanks for any suggestions or insight
