WTB: Gaskets for OBX headers and y pipe

[chullen1]

I am getting ready to do a clutch and flywheel on my camry and need new gaskets for the connection points from the headers to the y pipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

bought mine from Auto Zone. they dont fit perfectly, but a little cutting with an x-acto knife did the trick

How long have you been running the exhaust? A lot of times they can be reused, unless they just fall apart or have been leaking.

[Eye8Pussies]

The obx set up uses paper gaskets, so they can't be reused unfortunately.

You can pick up exhaust gasket materials at just about any auto store and cut out your own.

I would love to do that but since I personally won't be putting the clutch in I don't want to make it a hassle for my tech who is putting them both in. So precut would be better.

If you have the headers not on your car yet then you can buy the gaskets that closely match the gaskets and just hold them up and cut them to match yourself.

It's really not difficult, the gaskets are generally pretty flimsy. Your mechanic shouldn't have a problem either. Might take 10 mins at most.

I would guess any of these 3 would work All felpro part numbers. The smallest is 60674 and I use that for my stock manifolds where they connect to the Y pipe. The 60496-1 is in the middle and fits the stock manifold and also 2.5 inch pipe and 60679 is the largest. All are good for 2.5 inch pipe and are converter gaskets that work well with exhaust. They are paper coated meta gaskets. I get them at autozone or advanceautoparts.

i dont think thats the one he's looking for. he said the gasket for where the header connects to the y-pipe, i believe the one you posted is for the y-pipe to the cat-back. i know my headers have a triangular gasket with three bolt holes.

if i can find the box for mine when i get home ill post up the part number.

[Midias]

^ my bad I was thinking about these

[chullen1]

I am looking for the three gaskets two from the headers to the y pipe and one from the y pipe to the obx exhaust. I have already installed the headers and am just looking for gaskets to do my clutch and flywheel install. I don't like using old gaskets, causes to many problems. Why not use new when you do something. I am also looking for a OEM rear main seal if anyone has one around.

[SirThomas8]

Here are the gaskets I think you're looking for. They closely fit my OBX headers, but the holes for the bolts don't line up well. The bottom right are the original ones that came with the OBX Headers, the top and left are the ones I bought from Auto Zone (part #5980)



Now that I'm looking at my headers/y-pipe again, the pics Midias posted before of gaskets look like the right ones for the y-pipe gasket. So Midias's pics for the y-pipe gasket, and my pic for the header gaskets.

Hope that helps some. You can probably find them online at AutoZone.com and other places.

Wow, I didn't know that. Fail.

[chullen1]

thanks for the info, would the 3 inch collector gaskets work better and maybe the holes would line up.

[SirThomas8]

i believe those are 3 inch collector gaskets.

[chullen1]

the 5980 are 2.5 collector gaskets
