Title: Exhaust gaskets?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on November 16, 2017, 09:56:38 pm

Are there gaskets between the manifolds and the Y-pipe, or how do you get rid of the leaks?

They're just cone shaped fittings. No gaskets. They are "generally" just tightened down until they don't leak any more.

It's a 'do-nut' type hard gasket. Only buy the Fel-Pro one and you won't have to worry about leaks. TFS has them.

This? (https://www.fierostore.com/Product/Detail.aspx?p=2&s=52791%20%20%20%20%208788)

That one is for the other end of the Y-pipe.

That's the one.
Oops! My bad.
The 2 small ends of the 'Y' pipe that go to the manifold pipes have no gasket. Tightened properly they will not leak IF they haven't been dropped or deformed in some fashion.
