Hi,

Does anyone know where to get a back box exhaust gasket for an MY95 WRX, the last one i got which was for a uk car was smaller than my original one...

Any thoughts..?

Dan

I suppose out of necessity I would use metal ring and paste, if it does blow at least you can drive to a dealer to collect a new gasket

I reckon it will be ok though.

I think its leaking bacause i used what was left of the old gasket (the metal ring) and its not given a good enough seal... so i think ill give it a go tomorrow with paste...!!

Thanks again...

Dan

If your really stuck, Silicon sealant works well
