Can you re use exhaust gaskets
Just bought a Metal mule full system but can't fit the darn thing as I am still waiting for 2 new gaskets which have not come in the post yet.
So as not to miss the bank holiday, can I get away with re using the old ones or is that a bit too risky? |

Ithink I would refit them and see if they blow or not and go from there!

Should be fine to use again.

Hi,
I reused mine - mostly because the idea that I should replace them didn't really occur - with the MM 2-in-1 exhaust with about 1500miles on the clock. No problems so far (~3000km later) other than the exhaust pipes looking bluey-purple. Not sure if that's good or bad but it's working fine. Nice crackle on the overrun ![]() The only thing that annoyed me with the MM (other than wasting an hour before realising that the exhaust fits inside the frame) is that I couldn't tighten the inside bolt on the right hand (looking from the front) exhaust manifol clamp thingy as the header pipe is in the way. Hasn't been a problem so far. ![]() Cheers, Ian |
