i just bought a used JIC magic exhuast(dual) and was told i needed a gasket in between the beggining of the pipe and the catalyic conveter .... i was told to go to honda and get a stock OEM gasket ..... the only thing on there diagram was a exhuast gasket but it was a round piece of metal a perfect circle and was told by the person who sold me the exhuast this is the wrong part ......... soooooo do u need a gasket or not??? if so where can i get one ASAP and what is the part # from honda because the dealership here is clueless, ive had this exhaust sitting around for almost 3 weeks and cant find a solution ..... please help someone


thanks

 

That is the only OEM gasket avail. I think. The one that is between my test pipe and J's exhaust is like a normal looking gasket. It came with the exhaust tho. The only quick solution I can think of if you don't want to use the OEM gasket, is go pick up some gasket paper from Auto Zone or some place like that, and cut yourself one out.

 

I have made gaskets and brake shims out of flattened beer cans.

I would agree with going to get some gasket material and cutting your own - trace a template. I would also consider adding some red hi-temp RTV to one one of the surface "faces" to ensure a good fit without leaks. Do not use a lot, and remove any excess after it cures by cutting with a box cutter.

 

why dont you try to call the makers of the exhaust???
they should know since they made and tested the exhaust...

 

Any custom exhaust shop could make it for you. I've seen the machine (which does
such work) in action and its quite extraordinary. Fully computerized.

 

I'm running the JIC single without a gasket against the cat, and now a test pipe. Mine never leaked or hissed. Just make sure to torque the bolts evenly to 25ft lbs.

 

anyone else pleas help
