Is the gasket between cat 1 and cat 2 on my 96 proprietary or can I use a 0 ring from the store? Looks like she is puking a bit of exhaust out of there.

Thanks!
 
I just replaced mine a couple months ago. It is a pretty special-looking gasket. I used the Toyota OEM part, and it fit perfectly and has sealed well. It has a thin metal sleeve on the inside of the gasket and a crushable, layered, heat resistant material to make up the gasket. The cats have a recessed ring that the gasket fits into and it looked to me like you would have a hell of a time finding a generic part to fit the spot well enough to seal properly.

It was really cheap at Toyota ~ under $5 if I remember right.
 
Mine is long gone but the cats are rusted together in permanent metalurgical matrimony. So I used some hi-temp epoxy. Going on month 3...
 
I can get in there, oooooooh CDan! I am calling you again! :)

WOW, I drop off for awhile and big DanKunz is back :eek: :ban: :flipoff2: Glad to see ya stepped up from the 3fe.

I'd stick with OEM until you replace the whole system through discount converters if you ever go that route.
