Donut gasket/exhaust

Post by Rzza »

Should I continue to buy the defective gaskets for 2003 which cost four times the price of a 2009 model?
Does anyone sell a kit, with the two springs, two bolts and a gasket?
Also, how do they charge $25 per spring? For the spring loaded bolts, that seems crazy!

Thanks for any input on this matter.

One is over $40 and one is closer to $10, the more expensive one is the old model, known to fail, AFAIK.

I tried to post previously, but anyway I used the gasket that came with my Toyota engine overhaul kit and had no issues with leaks. I used a set of Walker springbolts because mine were...my classmate impacted them on too hard a while back. No issues. 2006 base, FWD.
