PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
This kit contains a set of 5 gaskets that are critical to replace during up-pipe installation to prevent possible exhaust leakage and performance loss. This kit is available at the retail price of $70 and includes up-pipe to turbo, up-pipe to manifold, turbo to down-pipe, manifold to engine, and manifold to crosspipe.

The gaskets were engineered using proven materials designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. Using a unique formula of more than 80% chrysotile asbestos fiber in a SBR synthetic rubber, the gaskets have demonstrated reliability at over 1500F and 1000 psi. The material exceeds rigid specifications including military MIL-A-7021C.

Are all of these gaskets needed for an uppipe install? I would think that just the manifold->uppipe and uppipe->turbo would be needed.

Also, how are these gaskets different than the ones I can buy from my dealer.

all the gasket above is KIT when you do an uppipe install... it would be ideal to use all of them.

from the pix above you can see that these gaskets are quite a bit thicker than the OEM ones. its to give a little room for error for using aftermarket pipes. crush type washers (oem ones) even fail on stock pipes.

Ordered mine hope to have them mon/tues.... will see if it eliminates my up/downpipe leaks next weekend...
.....thanks subydude

When you do the uppipe install, you have to disassemble the turbo to downpipe in order to get to the bolts to remove the uppipe from the turbo. In addition, you need to remove the manifold to engine and manifold to crosspipe in order for the uppipe to drop down away from the turbo. Hence, it is recommended that you replace all of these gaskets.

The difference between these gaskets and the ones you buy from the dealer (OEM) is in the materal. Instead of 3 thin sheets of metal with a small crush ring for sealing, these gaskets use a material specifically design for sealing in high temperature and high pressure environments. The NHRA Pioneer Avenger Drag Race car used gaskets made of this material.

One area in which there is no difference with the OEM gaskets is fitment. No expense were spared to ensure that the die cuts are to the exact OEM specifications and quality control ensures that every gasket is a perfect fit!

Because of SBR binder in the gasket material, the one temporary downside is a slight burning rubber odor during the first few hours of operation. This will completely disappear so don't worry.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email or contact subydude!

It is usually not recommended to reuse gaskets because gaskets are usually cheaper to replace then the labor to reinstall with new gaskets if you run into trouble.

That said, these gaskets are "more reuseable" than the OEM metal crush gaskets because the "Recovery ASTM F36" is greater than 50%. The higher the recovery, the better the seal retention. The OEM metal crash gasket has a recovery of 0%.

Got mine today - thanks suby_dude

Just ordered mine:) I think I'm finally going to get an uppipe. I can't belive I've held out this long. I figure the cost of the uppipe will pay for itself in the cost to fun to drive ratio long before I have enough money to do any of the major hp upgrades.:lol:

Just ordered mine! Thanks for the shipping SD.

Can anyone speak to the long-term durability of these pieces?

I've got a set of the Prestige thicker gaskets now. I've recently read that they have a tendency to leak after extended usage at high boost levels. And seeing as how I've recently developed a leak after a track day, I suspect that to be the issue.

I'm just curious if anyone has had these on for a couple thousand miles and can comment on their experiences. I'm not anxious to keep re-installing the up pipe.

thanks
mike

Hey SUBYDUDE... Question for ya....
I bought your gaskets tthere like 2 weeks ago (great service, by the way), and I was leak-free on my up-pipe until yesterday....
Now we tried re-tightening all the bolts as a possibly quick fix on them, but still leaks.

My question to you is, this:
when the upppipe was installed, the old metal gasket was used ontop of the new ones I bought from you. I am not sure that that was a good idea... is there any way you can ask your supplier if that is definitly not a good thing to do? After checking that the uppipe was nice and tight, I get the fealing that the 2 different gaskets was NOT a good idea, but I would like to hear from some people with more experience with that kidna stuff 0 like the manufacturer.

Thanks dude... (by the way, I am in NO way, trying to knock you or your products, cuz I know your service is great... just looking for some info, thats all)

I am curios as well as far as the long term reliability is concerned. Is there any hard evidence of these gaskets lasting x miles at x hp etc?

BTW. Used the gaskets at my first ever uppipe install and no leak in sight!:)

Im not Subydude, but I have his gaskets, and am leak free. Dont reuse the OEM gaskets, ever! This will cause a leak after it breaks down some more...

this is not a good idea.

this actually increases your points of failure. I had a guy put two oem gaskets to fix an uppipe leak but it did the same think... it leaked.

these gaskets should be good for uppipe deformity up to a certain point... but if you have to put 2 gaskets to fix an uppipe leak... just my suggestion ofcourse... but maybe you should get a new uppipe...

try to bolt on the uppipe w/out the gasket to see how big the gap is... if its too big, i doubt you'll find a gasket that will work for you long term.

either way.... i'll be more than happy to provide you a full refund... just email me.

best regards,

sd

Brian :devil:

Just put my order in for a downpipe gasket.

Thanks SD

more in stock folks!

Subydude, just paypal'd you for the gaskets. Can I get a tracking number if possible. Thanks!1

Double post. OOPS!!

Do you have header gaskets?
Thanks OKD
:D

Im not SD but.....

Yes there are gaskets for the manifold, or an aftermarket header, look on the first page.

As for the tracking number, these are sent USPS, so nope, youll have them in 3-4 days anyways.

tracking # yes

just email me and i'll send you the tracking info...

please email me w/ your first/last name.

thx

SD

I am trying not to be stupid here. Won't I need two manifold gaskets for an aftermarket header (or stock one)? This would be the gasket(s) where the exhaust manifold mates to the exhaust port on the head (left and right bank). The five piece gasket set only shows one gasket , not two.
Thanks for the help.
OKD
:confused:

I want to order the gaskets, I just want make sure I order the right stuff. I will need gaskets for a header, up-pipe, turbo, and down-pipe. What are the proper parts?
Thanks again, again:D
OKD

the gaskets i have that you can use are:

turbo to downpipe
turbo to up-pipe
up-pipe to manifold

my suggestion is to get all the gaskets... the complete kit.

hope that helps.

regards,

SD

more gaskets in stock.

SD

got an EGT gauge and need some gaskets for the probe install....will call you tomorrow. Subaru dealer wants $68 for 3 gaskets :eek:, so bump for an awesome deal

So these will fit a downpipe with a divorced wastegate too?

Just ordered a new uppipe and is supposed to come with gaskets, and got my hands on a BPM turboback but it is used and the gaskets look like they've seen better days.:huh:

Just order mine, cant wait to get them.

Bump for a great price

Paul

Yep ordered mine too, if i dont use one of them can you send them back?

Hopefully they will ship out mon, my TBE is sitting i the garage and my uppipe ships out mon

Hey I forgot to ask, I have a BPM 3 inch exhaust, these will work on that correct? If not, I only need the ones from up-pipe to manifold and uppipe to turbo,you can refund the difference
thanks

Money would have came from Totaleclipsegt01@aol.com from Paypal.

I just paid for a complete uppipe kit. You don't have any sticker pics on your site, can you post one so I can pick a color? :)

Hi All.

Recently we had some issues with people having failures with these gaskets and after spending some time investigation, I'm happy to say they the problem has been found...

Personally, I've been using the gaskets longer than anyone and installed it myself earlier this year. So, I decided to disassemble my up-pipe to look for any problems with the material not holding up to the high temps. Instead, what I found is that nearly all of my bolts had become loose and were no longer torqued to the proper factory spec of 26-30 ft-lb. In fact, 2 bolts were missing - one holding the turbo to the bracket and the other holding the manifold to the engine. In this gasket, there were signs of wear due to a leak that started. I did not use a torque wrench which is partially to blame as well.

Previously, it would have been easy to detect the leak because the metal gaskets are thin and make a shrill sound. However, these gaskets are thicker and apparently do not make any sounds which I could hear above my 3" turbo-back system.

Since the material used in our gaskets have been used by other header gasket manufacturer for the last 12 years, I contacted some for their advise and I was told that there are only 2 reasons for the gaskets to fail after a successful installation:

1) The gaskets are knotched to slide into place instead of sliding onto the bolts.

2) The bolts back out and cause a leak which will prematurely destroy the gaskets.

Heat and pressure is NOT an issue. Obviously, we are looking at #2 as the main cause of failure.

These manufacturers include a disclaimer indicating that the bolts need to be retorqued after 100 miles.

Therefore, beginning with all future orders, we will be recommending the use of a torque wrench to properly torque all bolts in addition to retorqueing after 100 miles. This will ensure that your leak free install will last FOREVER!!!

In the case that you run into problems or if you decide to reinstall your gaskets, please remember that we guarantee your happiness and will gladly send you a replacement set if needed! Please feel free to contact me directly for replacements as long as you can provide proof of purchase from a vendor (i.e. faxed or email receipt).

Thanks to everyone for your support and may all WRX be leak free!
