Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Changing from a total stock exhaust and cats to a cat back exhaust and double decat. Obviously I'll need gaskets, but does anyone know what ones, how many?... where to get them from and most importantly... how much?? thanks in advance!

CardiffSupra Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Loads of traders on here do restictor rings mate, think Paul wiffin and Chris wilson make them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 are you on about gaskets or restrictor rings mate? This thread was about gaskets.... ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 If it's 2 decat pipes you're going for (usual, unless you have a UK spec iirc) then you'll want 2 gaskets. The 1st cat seals to the downpipe with a copper ring-type gasket (I just used a bit of Firegum from Halfords to make sure it was sealed). Chris Wilson can sort you out the gaskets in next to no time at all, and he supplies the genuine Trust ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 yeah, he has a restrictor ring coming my way. Have emailed enquiring about the gaskets... still waiting on a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Jim see EPC diagram and part numbers attached, your local Toyota dealer shoudl be able to get the gaskets for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The 1st cat seals to the downpipe with a copper ring-type gasket (I just used a bit of Firegum from Halfords to make sure it was sealed). . Do you have to buy this copper ring or is it already there? and where to buy if you do have to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Yeah.. thanks guys. Ordered the 3 gaskets I need. 3x 17451 Chris Wilson said that I should remove the copper ring and use exhaust sealant. Should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Do you have to buy this copper ring or is it already there? and where to buy if you do have to buy it. Already there, mate. As mentioned it's best to get rid of it; my 1st decat is 3" so the ring was barely big enough to create any decent kind of seal. A dab of Firegum (other brands are available) and all will be well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
