shieldsie Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I`m getting the new Scorpion exhaust fitted on Monday 1 question is, should I have a gasket that fits inbetween the center pipe and front pipe? My dad seems to think on was there when I unwrapped it, but I dont remember seeingit. I only remember and have in my possesion the back box/center pipe and large jubilee clip Defo no gasket Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 if there isnt then there should be. Large Jubilee clip... Is it not bolted between sections? I think its a 2.5 bore exhaust so gaskets are easily available. you just have to make sure the bolt spacing is right. Quote
shieldsie Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 **** I must have mss placed it I tried 3 different places today and neither had what I was asking for I must rip the house to bits trying to find what is now lost Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 No gaskets are included, you can reuse the existing one, kit contains rear silencer, mid-pipe and exhaust clamp… Quote

3FIDDYZ Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 I bought from here for replacements before http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HKS-2.5inch-64mm- ... ---(2-pack)-2.5-inch_W0QQitemZ330399848427QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20100129?IMSfp=TL100129189001r14359 I disagee with CS though! Your gasket that comes off will be shot and will probably break up when you take the zorst off. You got a pic of the exhaust? Interested in the clamp. Thought all 350z exhausts came with bolted up flanges? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Check the bore though, pretty sure its 2.5 but not 100% Quote
fakeindian Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Well I just had mine fitted today by CS with the original gasket and it's fine. Sounds freaking awesome Quote
Chris`I Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Depends on how long its been on the car and what condition. When I put the Nismo on mine, my gasket was fine to reuse. Its always a good idea to replace them, but not always needed. I know plenty of people that have swapped them without changing the gaskets. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Well I just had mine fitted today buy CS and it's fine. Sound freaking awesome And your existing gasket was in great condition, as shown… Quote
shieldsie Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 Well I just had mine fitted today buy CS and it's fine. Sound freaking awesome I`m so looking forward to Monday morning. 3FIDDYZ - the back box connects, slots into the center pipe, and the jubilee clamp tightened around it. The center pipe then bolts to the front pipe has normally would. Quote

dcash5 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Lets just clear something up...... erm that might be your problem Jubilee Clip Exhaust Clamp / U- Bolt Ps mine came with new gaskets, even for the Y-pipes that werent required at the time Quote

Didnt know if they had changed the design at some point. Sounds like its the same, well apart from now they dont supply the gaskets Quote

Get some camber and toe arms... camber fine.. toe feels like your dragging a caravan!!! Quote
fakeindian Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 well when i got to CS's today this is what was waiting for me: and then it fitted: he even supplied and fitted some Eibach spacers, 15mm front and rear p.s sorry about the crap shots i forgot my camera and had to use my phone and it was freaking freezing Quote
janz70 Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 regardless of condition you should never reuse gaskets - new ones should always be supplied penny pinching springs to mind Quote
