OEM Gaskets? I am putting on my header (Weapon R) this weekend. Should i use OEM or should i look into something else.. Somebody told me they are recommended.. AND i plan on being productive and learning something new so i am doing it myself.. Will i have to cut or shorten the S pipe to fit? Please and Thanks

 

Just replace the OEM gasket and you'll be fine.

 

Dude told me if im careful taking the OEM Header off.. I can save the gaskets and they are the best to use? He explained some other stuff to me about Torque Measurement numbers when bolting this header on? NOOOB l love it though. I think i can call a dealership or google that though..

 

Use the OEM gasket for sure. A lot of guys run them on turbo setups including myself with absolutely no leaking issues.

 

Awesome thanks..

 

Never re-use a gasket. It's like 20 bucks for a new one, just spend the $20 and be certain that you won't have leaks.

 

Do i have to order online?

 

re use the gasket.. its just a header.. TQ it down right and u wont have leaks ... 20 bucks saved

 

It says to re-use the gasket in the install guide from Turbonetics... for a header, you'll be fine. I've seen re-used OEM metal gaskets go re-used 3 times without a hint of a leak on a turbo setup.

 

Sold

Ok about cutting down S pipe to fit? Somebody said something about it.. I hope not.

 

the weapon-r header comes with an S pipe.

 

lol i know bro.. im sayin is it to long? or is it just right? Someone brought that to my attention.

 

What do you mean to long? it fits fine..it just has less bends than the stock one

 

lol idk someone just told me to look into the length..

 

you'll never know until you test fit it.

 

worst case scenario, put the stock one back on until you get it figured out. no big worries.

 

K hopefully it fits.. HEY! one more thing i am trying to put in this Front Strut but there a canister in the way on the right side of the throttle body? can you re locate this?

 

I need pics to see what you are talking about. What strut bar are you putting on?

 

Its meagan racing. I think its called the master cylinder fluid.. I think its able to be moved..

 

I wouldn't relocate brake master cylinders over a strut tower bar. If it doesn't fit on without doing anything besides removing the wiper cowl, then that's one crappy strut bar.
