Default Fitting exhaust

Iv recently brought a centre pipe decat and a backbox,however I don't have any exhaust gaskets. Do I need to buy just one to connect the backbox to the rear part of the centre pipe, or 2 to connect both the rear and the front?

Not always economically sound, but if yours come off the old pipes ok then try them. All it means is if she blows, then you have to have it off the ground again to fit new ones. Your gamble really.

I think Scoobyworld do gasket kits you might as well get them you only want to do the job once. Or have a look on ebay if your on a really tight budget

I have a small problem , my backbox flange and rear centre pipe are both 2.5" however the front of the centre pipe is 3" so I'm going to need to difference sized gaskets. However this isnt the problem, the problem is I have a 99 sport and I don't think the front of the centre pipe is going to straight on the stock downpipe...

If there is a major problem and it does not fit dont worry as there are loads of exhaust fabricating places about and they can do anything with stainless steel pipes at not much cost.
