fastandcurious (lol) - that goes between the header and the start of the megan pipes. "donut gasket"

however, it could also be a gasket to connect two of the megan pipes together and you may have to reuse the stock donut gasket that is on the end of the header...

pics would help and I suggest you look at the megan instructions!

good luck!

instructions? *looking around* what instructions?

i figured there would be a similar gasket in the stock setup and this one was a replacement for it, but i just wanted to make sure. i'm having trouble with their site but i'm going to try and contact them. thanks.

I just put my axle back on a few days ago. Very easy install. 2 bolts, 3 hangers. Unmentioned things you'll need- WD-40 or PB Blaster for the hangers and you need to buy nuts for the spring bolts.

just to update, i called megan racing and the guy said that the donut gasket they provide replaces the stock one that goes between the header and mid-pipe. i'm assuming he meant between the s-pipe and mid-pipe.

hmm... what pipe is right after the header? s-pipe? then he probably meant header and s-pipe

from what i've read (haven't seen for myself), the s-pipe comes after the header.

you will know where the donut ring goes after you take off the stock one. you should have 2 springs with the kit at well.

the install took me 40 minutes by the way for the catback...its cake

Sounds awesome, but I want to know if this exhaust adds performance!

sounds AND looks awesome! and to whoever said it sounds stock, that is absolutely not true. i'm completely stock (no cai) and it sounds nice and deep. what i love is that it's hardly noticealble at freeway speeds unless you downshift or something like that. plus all that shiney metal down there looks hot!

Don't get this exhaust if you plan on getting a header... while it sounds great without them, even with a high-flow cat welded on, the 2.5" piping and header in general will beat the snot out of your resonator and cat... so, I personally am trying to trade my OE-RS axleback portion for another axleback that (1) sounds more aggressive [I want a louder exhaust... some don't] and (2) I want to combat the rasp... at the moment, I'm looking at the HKS exhaust because I've heard it with a header and it sounds good, so... but that's all me.

with an aftermarket header and this oe-rs exhaust, there wont be a cat anywhere for the piping and header to beat the snot out of. all you're going to have is 2 resonators.
