i took my muffler off a few months ago to see how it sounded, decided to put it back on today. is there a gasket between the muffler and the midpipe or just the 2 flanges and the 2 bolts? ive got a leak but its as tight as its gonna get, may be its on at an angle or am i missing some sort of rubber gasket?


edit: i searched thro the forums and see that there is a gasket. but it says its welded on? may be theyre talking about the wrong gasket or just the metal piece where the bolts thread on?

 

There's no gasket.

 

haha so i still had a leak, tried to tighten it down more and the bolt broke at the end where the threads start after the washer part of the bolt. lame so now theres half a bolt stuck in my b pipe i guess? may be i should just get a whole new exhaust...

 

there is a gasket. i lost mine and had to go to honda and get another one for $20

 

I've installed 2 different muffler's(Greddy and Apex-i)and have taken and reinstalled the stock muffler aleast 10x's.I never saw or used a gasket and have no leak's.

 

look there. i didn't realize there was a gasket until i lost mine. i took my muffler off, and drove to the shop. it fell off on the way there. lame. had to get one from honda.

^^ it's #12.

after shipping, it's actually cheaper to get it from the dealership

 

There is a gasket in the Stock muffler,but I never knew that when installing the aftermarket muffler's and to my surprise,no leak's.

 

it's actually connected to teh "b" PIPE.

 

Well,there's why I have no problem's.

 

that's it dude. LOL. if the gasket were gone, you'd know LOL.

 

damn that sucks wish i woulda waited before tightening it down further lol. oh well no muffler doesnt sound bad. was going to upgrade exhaust at some point any ways. good to know that there is a gasket if i plan on fixing the current tho, thanks for the info.

 

no prob. i actually ran with no muffler for a few months. not bad at all.
