j2 exhaust gaskets replacement?
 
I have the j2 frontpipe, and I can't find a decent gasket for sealing it. Anyone have luck with any other gaskets? If so, I'd like a part number. It's not sealing where it meets the midpipe.

whats wrong with the one that came with it? try 2 gaskets maybe?

The ones that came with it are trash (just like the quality of the pipe). I can't get a decent seal with any of the others I've used. The ones that came with it literally crumbled in about 2 months time

I just bought [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Vibrant-1457-2-Bolt-Temperature-Exhaust/dp/B001804UBG/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1422716611&sr= 1-1&keywords=vibrant+1457"]this[/ame] yesterday for my front pipe to catback gasket. Heard good things and the measurements are correct.

Thanks I might buy one. I know I need the 2.75 one

i never had any problems with my j2 set up(gasket related that is). guess its just luck of the draw with the flatness of the flanges.

Hey let me know what gasket you chose as i have a j2 front pipe laying in my garage for about a year now. I still dont know what are the ideal gaskets to get.

bakerr6 01-31-2015 10:23 PM

I'm going to try and use some copper atv moat likely

Cant go wrong with those vibrant gaskets. I use them with my j2 pipe and have never had issues.

Bump..
Planning on buying a j2 front pipe off someone but doesn't have gaskets.
Can anyone tell exactly which 2 gaskets to get. Searched everywhere and can't find anything on the matter.

troek 02-19-2015 06:19 AM

exhaust is exhaust man, id say just get a quality gasket. the pipe is 2.75".
