Hi all,
I have a H&S downpipe to fit, but didn't get any gaskets with it. I'd like to replace them at the same time as fitting the new one. Which gaskets will I need and are they a dealer only part?
Thanks,
Karl

Thanks for the reply
So is it just the one gasket I need, or do I need to replace the one to the manifold/block too? And what about the small one where the center section joins? Is it worth just replacing them all?

Edited to say that, you definatley need new gaskets for the turbo end but depending on the car you mite be OK with the others

For a true fit it would be best to replace them all, nothing worse than having a leak & having to do the job all over again with a new gasket.
You won't have to repace the donut gasket though as these are good for many uses

got all the Gaskets you guys reckon I'm gonna need today from my local Subaru dealer. £28 quid for the two manifold gaskets and the turbo gasket
Thanks for the advice. Incidently I phoned around a number of motor factors and none of them would sell me these gaskets. They all said that it was a main dealer part
Thanks again!
