Title: 3.0 MV6 Exhaust gaskets
Post by: grijander on 05 October 2009, 10:55:58

I'm going to change complet exhaust from manifold(excluded).

And the unic gasket sended to me from supplier is a kind of ring that think goes between manifold and cat. is it right?

On the other hand I have no gasket between cat and central exhaust. is it right?

Just in case, what kind of gasket are the correct ones in order to make a perfect job?
Any recommendation like the black grease(molibdeno) to the lambda thread?

Thanks in advance.

correct, gasket at manifold to downpipe (cat) join.

no gaskets further on, just use exhaust paste to ensure a good join  :y

Ok, and regarding bolt's threads, what do you think? is it also useful to put that black grease on, or better to put some locker liquid to block them from vibrations?
