it's no big deal. it's not like my z is going to blow up without them, but the sound of air leaking from my exhaust is starting to get old. i have checked all the pipes and clamps to make sure there is no leak at any spot (it may just be a problem with the combination of the aams and the bassani, but i want to try everything possible before i have to give up this exhaust)

i'm just going to order the berk gaskets.

i tried that, but one of the rings is a little bent up and worn...plus, they don't work well with the aams

Do your test pipes have those J tubes welded on them? Can you tell me the size of those tubes where the o2 sensors go? Are they 0.75" or 1"?

This is the J tube here.

What was the end result? Wrong part or forgotten gasket in package?
