Hey guys, going to be installing my Megan exhaust stuff soon and not sure if I trust the gaskets that came with it. Plus, I need some gaskets to use on the cat and catback that I got used. The ones that came with the new downpipe and o2 elbow look like this: http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/Matt300ZXT/240SX%20Exhaust/DSC00883.jpg and I'm not sure if I trust those after hearing some stories about the pack in gaskets blowing out. So I'm curious what online store carries a better quality gasket, so I can just get a whole kit of the good stuff and won't have to worry about them blowing out a few months down the road.

I use the gasket that comes with it along with a small bead of high temp RTV. Worked for me for the last year without any problems.

I got a Megan cat delete for my s14, and those gaskets seemed pretty good. They were nice and stiff, thick, and seem to seal pretty well.

What about those? I checked Enjuku Racing and they have gaskets just like the ones that Megan packs in, but for 1 3 bolt style and 1 2 bolt style, they want nearly $20 for the gaskets and damn $15 to ship them. Forget those guys, are they shipping from the moon? Jeez. Anyways, couldn't I just get enough of these copper gaskets from Summit Racing and do the exhaust? 3 bolt or 2 bolt 3" inner diameter gaskets are universal right?

its usually the turbo gaskets that fail. these should be fine. but if you want that "just-in-case" thing then just pick up some OEM ones. cant go wrong with oem.

I've got a guy that works at Nissan up here, going to see what he can get me a metal t25 gasket to go between the turbo and the o2 outlet. I have a stock metal one in there, can I reuse it or do the metal ones only get one use out of them?

Ok I'm going with Remflex, their GT25 GT28 turbo gasket looks kinda funny, but if it fits a GT25 I'm going to assume it fits a T25 stocker. One other question, which of the 2 bolt gaskets do I need? They've got 3" 4 1/8" bolt spacing, and a 3" 3 31/32 to 4 1/2" bolt hole spacing. With my tape measure, measuring from roughly the center of one side to the roughly center of another, I'm getting roughly 4 1/4ish inches. I just want to see if anyone else knew the exact one to get so in case I'm measuring something wrong, I don't order the wrong gasket.

On the cat and cat back these gaskets will be fine.

I've used these over and over again.
