Default exhaust install

before y'all rant, the search is down currently

so I'm looking to get a new exhaust and i was wondering if i need anything besides the exhaust itself.

Ill be replacing the stock exhaust with a used invdia q300. i have ramps and everything already, i was wondering if i need gaskets or anything

If your ordering it new, it should come with all gaskets and hardware needed. Its all pretty strait forward.

^if you read his post you would see he is purchasing a used system.

If you are getting the gaskets with the exhaust you can reuse them if they are in good shape. If not you can purchase gaskets online for cheap. I would also invest in new nuts/bolts.

install is really easy. To me the only difficult part was getting the friggin hangers off lol. I spent a good 30 minutes per muffler removing them.

You have to take off the lower tie bar as well. 10mm and 14mm bolts. I'd use some WD40 on the hangers also.

WD-40 will eat the rubber on the hangers. Use a silicone grease spray.
