#499915 EddieDe (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 640 Exhaust gasket question 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   So I took off my Cobra longs and installed the bassani duals, I was looking over the parts diagram from the stock exhaust system and noticed there was a gasket on the head pipe. When I remored the old one there was none and I didn't put one on with the new one. Do I not need the gasket with aftermaket exhausts? Could this be the cause of the decel backfiring I was getting in the past?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #499920 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5291 Re:Exhaust gasket question 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm think'n, that you won't get by without a gasket. Whether your old pipes had some sort of a magic end or not I have no idea. The lack of a gasket, or a leaking gasket will cause the popping   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #499922 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..

I recommend the OEM gaskets over the Felpro ones. The Felpro then to crush aftera while and cause the nuts to loosen causing leaks the OEM are copper coated and harder so they seal better. I lost a nut because the Felpro took a set and the nuts loosened the bike will barely run when that happens.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #499927 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5937 Re:Exhaust gasket question 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   The gasket was probably in there in you just didn't notice. sometimes they blend in with the opening and are difficult to see. As was said without a gasket it would be popping so bad and running poorly that you couldn't ride it. I just bought new OEM gaskets yesterday and I was surprised to see that they were copper crush gaskets. Unlike the Felpro gaskets that fit but have a short life span. I think The OEM gaskets are worth the extra couple bucks if they are readily available to you. Curt, you sure are typing fast today.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/06/06 09:13 By davej.   dave   The administrator has disabled public write access. #499938 EddieDe (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 640 Re:Exhaust gasket question 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   i love this site !   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #499939 gfolkert (User) Blah...

Sometimes (most times) you should replace them.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #499983 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4815 Re:Exhaust gasket question 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Did somebody say bassani duals?
