OEM Subaru Flange Gasket
 
Does anyone know which way the OEM Subaru flange gaskets are supposed to face? Which side goes to towards the header?

I honestly have no idea, but if I recall correctly, my GS gaskets were similar and I just put them on. No leaks, so I'm happy.

Not sure, but I would put it on so that rounded part was facing the header ("in" flow of exhaust).

In other words, so that the left side, in picture #1 was facing the header.

It's their cheap ver of crush gasket, so it doesn't really matter much... but if you're OCD (like me), I would put it like humfrz stated

I think that way also makes it easier to put the header on without the gasket falling away or something

Thanks guys, I'll try putting it on that way and see how it goes
