Fitment Information: This gasket fits 2002 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2021 Subaru STI, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Legacy GT, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT, and 2004 - 2013 Subaru Forester XT. Features: The GrimmSpeed Lower Up - Pipe Gasket is made of durable multi - layer stainless steel. It's 22% thicker than the OEM gasket, ensuring an excellent seal. After testing countless aftermarket gaskets, GrimmSpeed found that multi - layer steel OEM - style gaskets work best. Many exhaust gaskets, even multi - layer ones, aren't fully made of stainless steel, leading to leaks. But this premium multi - layer steel gasket with a 304 stainless - steel fire ring solves that problem at an affordable price. It's for the exhaust manifold to up pipe location and is sold individually.

Using your GrimmSpeed exhaust manifold to up pipe gasket is easy. First, make sure your vehicle's engine is completely cool. Then, locate the exhaust manifold to up pipe area and remove the old gasket carefully. Clean the surfaces where the new gasket will sit to ensure a proper fit. Place the new GrimmSpeed gasket in position and secure it as per your vehicle's service manual. When it comes to maintenance, there's not much you need to do. Just check the gasket periodically for any signs of wear or leaks. If you notice any issues, it might be time to replace the gasket. And always follow the California Proposition 65 warnings (http://www.p65warnings.ca.gov) when handling automotive parts.
