legvw 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 You might get away without having to buy a gasket, as it might come off in 1 piece, if so just use the paste to seal that and the other end. Link to post Share on other sites
Smurf 0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Make sure you use an exhaust sleeve as my decat pipe didn't fit over the st.st exhaust !! whoops I had to get one made from some bloke off ebay in the end. you can get spiral wound sleeves from exhaust suppliers though measure the OD of the exhaust first as they are all different as I found out!! always fit new u bolts as well and plaster it with copperslip remember you'll need to take it off every MOT time also. Don't ever get any oil etc near the Lamda sensor and don't twist it or you'll reck the cable. disconnect it at the back of the engine first. good luck Link to post Share on other sites
