Yes, you should be able to re-use it when you switch your CAT out.

3 more questions and thats it..I Promise!

Speeding,

If for some reason the Spoon gasket is NOT reusable(I will be moving to a Smog Check state Soon) and will have to remove replacement pipe to smog, the put it back on, etc etc... any way
Where could I buy a Replacement Spoon Gasket?? or do i then just use Honda Gasket??

Also, since no dirrections were included
what is Torque setting for bolting resinator pipe to rear silencer pipe???
and
of the 5 bolts included with exhaust... 1 is longer than other 4.... where does that longer one go??

Thanks again

No prob.. I'll try to answer as best as I can.

If you cannot re-use the Spoon gasket, you could always use the Honda one. I can get Spoon gaskets for you if you want though.

For the torque setting, you can use the same setting as that of the side to the CAT. It doesn't need to be super super tight.

1 is longer than the other 4? Really?? They should all be the same. Did you get it used? In anycase, it shouldn't matter where you put it then. Also, there should be one more bolt that is shorter than all of them -- this one's for the silencer

Matt,
No I bought it new

look at the pic you had on the Spoon exhaust Sale thread... the one that shows the complete exhaust system... there are 5 gold colored bolts and you can see in Pic that 1 is longer than other 4

and yes, i do have the very small one for the silencer

Hmm, they all look the same to me... maybe they didn't screw the nut in like the rest of them in that pic?
I'm pretty sure the bolts from mine were all the same size.

I just checked a brand new kit, and all 5 bolts are the same length.
