Default Waiting to Install

Well, I am waiting to get the last bits needed to install the N1 I bought. Althought, I am a little stuck on the matter of gaskets.

Completely lost on finding a gasket for: (Trying not to have to order online)



What have people done for this one before? I heard something about getting a Nissan one when I searched, but still am a little confused. A factory Honda would not work?


Then for the rear section. What kind of 2.5 gasket would I want.



OR



Thank you anyone who is willing to help



Lastly, the exhaust I got is used of course. I was wondering if I should paint it matte black. Or leave it as it is now with it's burned staining?

I've already tried using NeverDull, but that picture is still the result. Something stronger then that?

Yeah, I ended up finding out about them a day or so after this. Bought two of the gaskets just in case for later. Looks like good stuff

My spoon exhaust looks just like yours on the piping. Install it and enjoy. No worries, you can't see it much.

I get my gaskets from Berk Tech tomorrow. Will be installing in the next couple of days. Still can't figure out what I want to do.

It's true, you don't see it much but the fact of the matter is I still know it's that way.



On a side note: Do the rattle can "1300" degree high temp paints actually stay on?

I used some of that high temp spray from autozone on my my OEM exhaust manifold when I had it (i've upgraded to an aftermarket header since then) but I had it on there for maybe 6 months and it looked as good as the day I did it. I was very surprised it lasted. It's worth a try.

That's perfect, just what I was looking for. Thanks for that. You never know with that stuff really. Hit or miss with those kind of things.

I think I am going to matte black it, from my experience with my Del Sol, it attracted less attention that way
