Fitment Information: This kit fits 2002 - 2014 Subaru WRX and 2004 - 2021 Subaru STI. Features: Are you tired of searching for a reliable exhaust gasket that won't blow out? Most aftermarket Subaru exhaust systems need a higher - quality gasket than the OEM one, but finding a good aftermarket option has been a challenge. At GrimmSpeed, we've tested numerous aftermarket gaskets. The multi - layer steel OEM - style gaskets work best. However, Subaru's OEM gaskets are expensive and not fully made of stainless steel, which can cause leaks. Our solution is a premium multi - layer stainless steel gasket with a stainless steel fire - ring at an affordable price. It's 22% thicker than OEM gaskets, has a 304 stainless steel fire - ring, and all stainless steel layers. What's in the Box: (2) Engine to Exhaust Manifold Gaskets - 020001, (1) Exhaust Manifold to Up Pipe Gasket - 026001, (1) Up Pipe to Turbo Gasket - 024001, (1) Turbo to Downpipe Gasket - 028001, (1) 3in Downpipe to Cat - Back Gasket - 022001. Please note: This kit does not include crosspipe gaskets.
Using this GrimmSpeed exhaust gasket kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is completely cooled down. Remove the old gaskets carefully from your Subaru WRX or STI. Take the new gaskets from the box and match them with their respective parts. For example, use the two engine - to - exhaust manifold gaskets at the engine - manifold connection. When installing, ensure the gaskets are properly aligned to prevent any leaks. Regarding maintenance, it's a good idea to check the gaskets periodically, especially after long drives or if you notice any unusual noises from the exhaust system. There's no need for special cleaning agents; just a simple wipe with a clean cloth will do. Remember, this kit doesn't include crosspipe gaskets, so if you need those, you'll have to source them separately.
