Couple of Questions

AMACHA · Post by **AMACHA** » Fri Mar 13, 2009 3:39 pm

Got the rpw extractors from nvr2low, i called mitsubishi gave them my VIN for two gaskets and they quoted me 103bux each for a gasket. He said the galant gaskets arnt the same.
What Are my options?

Now my mirrors fold in with the central locking but recently the right mirror jerks and cant fold it but has no trouble folding out...Any ideas?

Thanks

Is it just the one, or do I need 2. I guess if I need 2 they are both the same

thanks for the part number bennoz, i emailed rpw and they said the stock gaskets can be used and the only gaskets that need to be changed are the ones between the ypipe and the extractors themselves.....

Can i just reuse the stock gaskets on there?or will they rip when i take the old headers off?

I've had some rip, some not, gasket goop ensures they will rip, where-as a clean fit will keep the gasket in 1 piece... hopefully.

Always best to replace.. or atleast have spares on hand in case, dont wanna kick yourself later.

Just reuse the old ones, I would. They're a metal gasket & wont tear.

Go a quote on that one. Came out at 2300 Yen. This doesnt include commissions or postage though.

Thats just a standard 2.5" exhaust flange gasket. Could get them at Supercheap / Auto One / Repco.

Dunno, I just promised id get a quote. Ive done my job

so is that $36 for both of them or for one? (oh and that doesnt include postage or commission i know):D

ben i s right on all counts

go to local exhaust shop ask for standard 2 bolt exhaust gasket for what ever size you need 2.5" etc. Re use old gaskets i grabbed sam second hand ones and i have had no probs

Post by **Bennoz** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:29 pm

Exactly. Those standard ones are about $2 bucks each.

Post by **dstocks** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 8:35 pm

Yeah, I agree. I didnt realise the ones you were after where these. An exhaust shop will match them at a price much better than for the genuine ones.
