I'm removing my Fabspeed headers with hi flow cats to reinstall the stock set up. Can I reuse the original gaskets or do i need to install a new set. The gaskets are in very good condition.

 

Gaskets seal by crushing more in tighter areas and staying open more in less tight areas. They're really a single use item. Fabspeed makes the best exhaust gaskets and I keep a couple sets of them on-hand in case I need to remove part of the exhaust system to do another job and then have a new gasket on hand for reassembly.

 

Agreed, gaskets are a one time deal and also inexpensive.

Are you selling your car?

 

Thanks. I just ordered a set to be safe.


I am not selling the car just returning back to stock. I will be selling the Fabspeed headers soon.

 

Why?

 

Are you asking Why are they one time use or why would the OP want to reuse them?

 

I was asking as they were in good shape. i ordered and installed with new gaskets.

 

Why would you even do that? No!
