Soon.. i hope to get these gaskets in tomorrow and possibly getting it on tomorrow night if my dad is cool enough to let me borrow one of his lifts at work.

Q: what gaskets did you say you tore? the stock cat ones? or the ones provided to you with the midpipe?

I think that little spring on the o2 sensor is the problem to my tiny vibration. I can live with it but I'm a stickler when it comes to my car. :) brb.

Alrzorz- how's it coming?

I didn't see this...



The stock cat doesn't use any gaskets (you'll see when you take it out) and they just end up braking so I didn't use them. It was the front one closest to the header looks like a triangle. Most people left them out due to them blowing all the time any how. We didn't use a lift just a little jack and crawled underneath. Did I tell you all the bolts in the front are going to brake? I have worked on 3 of these already and each time they stripped or broke so don't get alarmed if they do. Did you get bolts with your midpipe from setsuwa? Because you won't be reusing you stock bolts.

:dunno:

spacers are half inch...?

another way I was thinking was to use some washers and longer bolts...but I don't know how well that would work

Damn you guys post fast

I am running stock map for now.

I want this, you sell to me REX. :lol: What are those blocks made of plastic? I can probably find something that will suffice. I left the flimsy cross members off, they suck anyhow. I'll just buy some sway bars and call it a day.

I've taken off my stock CAT.. there are definitely 2 gaskets there. One in the front and one in the rear. One is a ring and the other is a donut. The donut is fairly expensive.. $45 each. Neither of them will fit the Mazsport Midpipe.. which is why I gave up on my install when I did. I had to get gaskets that worked and Fluid Motorsports got me the exact hardware that came with the Mazsport Midpipe originally.. hopefully that'll arrive tomorrow.

I had my cat off a week and a half ago.. that is when I realized all this stuff... kinda late.. so I had to put it all back together.

I did not see these at all! is it possible that I overlooked them? Rex did your stock cat have gaskets? :sweatdrop Glad I posted this and the whole time I thought I was helping you. :)
