Can you re use exhaust gaskets
Just bought a Metal mule full system but can't fit the darn thing as I am still waiting for 2 new gaskets which have not come in the post yet.
So as not to miss the bank holiday, can I get away with re using the old ones or is that a bit too risky? |

Ithink I would refit them and see if they blow or not and go from there!

Should be fine to use again.

Hi,
I reused mine - mostly because the idea that I should replace them didn't really occur - with the MM 2-in-1 exhaust with about 1500miles on the clock. No problems so far (~3000km later) other than the exhaust pipes looking bluey-purple. Not sure if that's good or bad but it's working fine. Nice crackle on the overrun which is a bit of a giveaway when you see the Spanish cops with RADAR... The only thing that annoyed me with the MM (other than wasting an hour before realising that the exhaust fits inside the frame) is that I couldn't tighten the inside bolt on the right hand (looking from the front) exhaust manifol clamp thingy as the header pipe is in the way. Hasn't been a problem so far. Cheers, Ian |
