Need help with Donut Gasket
I just changed my exhaust from q300 to ark grip yesterday, special thanks to Brztoni for teaching me about exhaust replacement
 anyway, after installation i did check for leaks and noticed that the area on where the donut gasket with springs is leaking some air and little bit of water, i removed the Midpipe and tried to reposition it, tight the bolt ( 15-17lbs torque) and no success then loosen it a little bit but same thing ,i can still feel air coming out on it, so i I'm guessing my donut gasket is damage, does anyone know where i can get a aftermarket replacement and prices for it? how much is it from dealership?will this fit [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Subaru-OEM-Exhaust-Donut-Gasket/dp/B00ENJIWIG/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439600152&sr=8-1-fkmr2&keywords=frs+donut+gasket"]Amazon.com: Subaru OEM Exhaust Donut Gasket: Automotive[/ame] |

Try driving it for a couple days...the heat might reshape the gasket/pipes a bit.
Worked for my brother who's running NO gaskets on his Greddy exhaust lol. Initial start up, no leak. 30 minutes in, small leak. Next day until to this day...no leak.

still having problems let me know. donut gaskets are easy to install.. i like to apply a small amount of high temp silicone sometimes to exhausts that are finicky..

I had similar issue so eventually I added some copper high temp gasket sealant. So far so good..
