Guest LGT-NY Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 DO NOT USE your old gaskets!!! Buy these: http://www.pltek.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1106_21_25_28&products_id=105 http://www.pltek.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1106_21_25_28&products_id=104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 since im a impatient a-hole, how about autozone? Flame away.... stock gaskets should work, stock sti uppipe and stock gutted dp... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LGT-NY Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Do you have a subaru dealership near you? They should stock them. Autozone will probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LGT-NY Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Bill Kolb Subaru in Orangeburg probably has them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 stock gaskets should work fine no? also the guy doesnt have the studs for the sti up, can i replace them with my LGT studs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LGT-NY Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 OEM gaskets are fine. Yes, the legacy studs will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Thanks alot for the info....also 04 sti up will fit me 06 lgt right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal05LGT Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 USE OEM GASKETS!!!!!!!!!!!! It will save a lot of hassle not having to deal with leaks from insufficient gaskets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 thanks for everyones help but i have one more question, should i be concerned about the condition of the uppipe when i see it at all? such as too much rust? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goneskiian Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Some rust will be unavoidable. How much is too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I just finished an up pipe install today. Use OEM gaskets. If you arent removing the turbo make sure to get the gaskets for the manifold too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer will have them, save the hassle and go there for the gaskets..... It's only like $40 for the ones you need for the UP install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted October 13, 2008 Author Share Posted October 13, 2008 think i really need the manifold gasket, cant re-use? not like i want to takr chances though...also i think im going to buy 5 bolts for it because they didnt come with the one i got and i dont feel like running into problems god forbid i only have my car tomorrow so if i need to run out im screwed. btw the heat shield around it is loose, anyone know if that bracket with the two bolts will keep that from rattling?

Guest LGT-NY Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Dude, anytime you break an exhaust seal you need to replace the gasket. Unless you like exhaust leaks. Just accept it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
