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.

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 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.

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. |
