Exhuast gaskets? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I am changing out a crappy hack job exhaust with a stock exhaust and was wondering if turbo cars need exhaust gaskets? That is if I can ever separate the cat from the exhaust, gotta love it, old car + rust!

Yes, there is one at each pre-cat, one at cat entrance, and one at the cat exit. I am pretty sure that is right, its been a long time since I have seen a 100% stock exhaust on one of these cars

Thanks, I am going to crank on some rusty exhaust bolts again today, hopefully I won't break any off.

Yup thats it.

Btw, I would suggest getting the new gaskets (and copper spray) first before you pull down the exhaust. Some stores don't stock metal exhaust gaskets.
