Hey I'm about to make a purchase on a used hks dual ti-exhaust and I wanted to know if the hks exhaust came with any aftermarket gaskets and if the stock gaskets are able to be used with the hks dual ti-exhaust, thanks!

 

mine came with some gaskets, but whoever you're buying it prolly used it and threw away the stock.

 

HKS Ti came with 6 gaskets ( 2 for cat to y-pipe, 2 for y-pipe to mid pipe and 2 for mid pipe to mufflers)
You better off use 2 stock gaskets from cat to y-pipe since they are multi plate metal gaskets(better than HKS ones).
THe other 4 gaskets, you have to use HKS ones.

 

does hks sell these gaskets seperately? Now I'm thinking twice about buying this exhaust used since I won't have all the gaskets, hmmmm decisions decisions

 

HKS do sell these separately but it probably take some times.
I believe dat 2 gaskets from cat to y-pipes are the same as mid to mufflers.
the other 2 (y-pipes to mid) are slightly bigger.

I bought mine used and it only came with 2 gaskets (y-pipe to mid-pipes). I used stock gaskets for cat to y-pipe and I found the other 2 (mid pipe to mufflers) from local muffler shops.

you should just buy it. Let me know, I can probably help you getting all the gaskets from a muffler shop in Costa Mesa right by 55 freeway (Dyer street)

 

Yes, HKS supplies them with gaskets. If you're buying it used, ask why he is not including the gaskets.

If not, you can go to an exhaust shop and buy gaskets from them, or have them make you gaskets.

You can buy them from HKS, but they are on back order. You for sure have to wait a while to actually get them.

 

so the hks gaskets arent necessary cool now where in Orange County can I get this exhaust installed at because I don't really have much experience with installing such things, hopefully I can make the purchase, thanks guys

 

My buddy has a shop in Westminster. He can do the exhaust installation for around $100 bucks.

 

sounds good, I'll let you know when I make the purchase on the exhaust, thanks for the help, off topic question do any of the guys in orange county have meets or anything like that? I'm a fairly new Z owner so it would be nice to meet other enthusiasts

 

we do meet once in a while. There's gonna be chino meeting on 07/27. Search for this thread.

You dont need any special gaskets, Go to muffler shop and they have them, I have the exhasut and i got new ones and the shop gave me all new metal one. So go to a shop and ask for them to install.

 

Also the local shop charges me 75.00 to install, My system is perfect.
