JLR Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I've ordered a complete stainless steel exhaust system (three pieces), plus the appropriate full fitting kit and assembly paste. Should the paste be applied to both sides of the gasket (pictured) that fits between the manifold and downpipe or only to the two pipe connections, leaving the gasket 'dry'? WIth thanks.

standardthread Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 All surfaces, and make sure the downpipe extends ABOVE the mounting flange because the extension should sit in the recess in the manifold. A lot of manufacturers have cut corners on this. If the extension isn't there create one with a small length of tube wedged in the downpipe. If you don't your gasket WILL quickly blow.
