Re: donut exhuast?

I usually get exhaust gaskets at Napa..

Check the flange and retaining plate to make sure they are straight and not warped..

They are sometimes a pain to get lined up.. They don't "settle in." If it's off a little and theres a tiny gap, there will be a tiny gap after you tighten all the bolts.. I tighten each bolt/nut a little at a time making sure that the donut stays in place...

I hope this helps.

Elias

Dunken donuts? Jk . I had a problem once with a donut that would leak. I gave up and paid 20.00 to have the local muffler shop "fix" it hasnt leaked since. But yea Napa would be a good choice. HMMMMM donuts , now Im hungry.
