Hey I finally got around to installing my Tanabe Medallion Touring on my car. I'm just wondering about the gap between the mid/B pipe and the exhaust.

I left the exhaust gasket on and the flange from the muffler and b pipe have a gap, is that ok? Or should I remove the gasket and try to mount the flanges face to face?

the springs are holding it closed well enough, and there's no rattling. I never got instructions and couldn't find any so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. I can post a picture when I get home from work.

 

The gap is normal.
just feel around the gap. There should be no exhaust gases escaping.

 

Thank you for reassuring me Jing! Yeah it’s sealed against gasses, so I’m glad that’s how it fits.
