I am getting ready to install a DC exhaust on my 2004 XB that has 67000 miles on it. Are there any problems that I should anticipate before I do it. I have already read that it is a pain to get the muffler off of the hanger. But I also read something about people breaking a ceramic gasket? I purchased a new gasket just in case, but the one that I bought is not ceramic. Did I buy the wrong one? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

 

I put the same exhaust on my 06, never put a new gasket on, i honestly didn't know there was one until a few weeks ago. So i wouldnt honestly be worried about it, the clamp holds the factory and the dc exhaust together very good. The hangers are the worst part of the install, lube them up before hand.

What is the part number on the new gasket?

 

I got a pair of these...

Had the exhaust off the hangers in about 5-8 seconds each.

 

THis is the gasket, I believe.

just don't phuk up the gasket and you will be good to go.

 

Lucky for me when i got my Greddy SP2 it came with a new gasket.

 

The gasket should be new when changing over to the axleback.

The DC should of come with a new one too!

Too bad for me.

 

That appears to be sort of obvious.

 

well hey . peopel are asking obvious questions os i gave an obvious but still helpful answer.

 

Hot, you had the DC Sports and it melted your bumper, right?

Maybe a new gasket and clamp would of avoided such problems.

It really isn't obvious.

 

Hey Hot,
are you able to give me the part number for the rear exhaust clamp and nut?

You can make good use of your thread space.

 

i've never had a melted bumper or bought a waste of money axle back .

 

More space takin' up!

Way to go.

 

yeah cause you're not wasting space at all. you seem to be a fan of search and such so help him out instead of bickerign with me when i posted good info , as well as make false statements about me trying to be cool just to end up being wrong.

but hey it's all good.

good to know that some peopel have vendetta's against me for no reason.

have a nice day.

 

Oh, jeez. Very true, that it was not you with the burnt bumper.

It was the original HOTBOX.

I guess you took the name and modded it with as HOTBOX05.

 

i've actually been on this website since sept 04. and i believe i am the original hotbox on this website. i do know i've been scionlifes top poster for two years in a row.....

 

Great!

The sad thing is that you think its cool.


It's really kinda pitiful.


HOTBOX is the original, sorry, 2003.

 

you ar also a bit pitiful arguing nil points just to be a jerk.

Never did I say I was cool. and when I picked my name I wasn't the 5th hotbox i picked hotbox and 05 'cause my car is an 05 .


can I ask why you're being a jerk unneccessarily?

 

Does this mean you aren't gonna give me the part number for the rear exhaust clamp and bolt?
