Looking for RPi downpipe gasket
« on: March 15, 2011, 07:46:56 PM »
Hey all, I just sold my downpipe but I completely forgot the gasket that goes with it.  Does anyone have one laying around that they are not using?  A call to RPi looking for a spare one proved unfruitful.

Thanks in advance!

You mean the gasket between turbine outlet and downpipe?
Why not use one from Solo for example? I just got one from Solo.

Isn't that similar to the Solo gasket? Get hold of Spikey and ask him.

Im looking at the flange on my SOLO CATLESS DP and the SOLO gasket should fit since it looks  the same.

From what I can remember, it does use all four bolts.  But hey, I think this should work!  Thanks everyone for your advice!
