I FINALLY got my exhaust from AHP, they bolt together. Do I need gaskets to go between the sections, or can I just bolt the sections, metal to metal. If I do need gaskets, what can I use as gaskets. Any help will be appreciated!

Thanx in Advance
 
of course you need gaskets. unless you like having exhaust leaks:p
if you want to do it the easy way, lay a bead of silicone on one of the flanges, but don't tighten the bolts fully so you don't squeeze it all out. let it cure, and then tighten.
 
Don't do that. Just buy a normal gasket for an exhaust. They have all sizes at most autozone, checker and pep boys. Personallly I like the metal/paper/mesh ones best as they form better. Paper ones do the trick fine though...
 
ps. don't discriminate or whatever(you know what i mean,look down at me)just cause i'm young and easing into this car world.I know more about mine and my bros 96' eagle talon then he does and he is 18. I do research and I learn and I don't bull sh**t. so just cause i'm young doesn't mean i can't do waht your doing.late.
 
hey dont let anyone fool you definatly go with a 3" pipe no cat gutted cat or high flow cat the 21/2 is restrictive and no you dont need back pressure no matter what they say 3 inch may look like coffee cans but your car will breath and it will sound sick too later
 
DO NOT GET AHP products, they took them 9 months to get me my products, they gave me the wrong products, and what parts were right had to be re-adjusted. They sent some of the parts unwelded which is another $90. so I say again DO NOT GET ANYTHING FROM AHP!!!
 
With a flange to flange you will need gaskets, but between the turbo and a 02 elim you wouldn't need a new gasket or one for all.

9 months is a long time.
