Hey guys, Got a Question, may be a dumb one though but.....
All exhaust kits that go on our scooters, do all of them have to have a gasket? The gasket where the header pipe connects too? I think the guy at Two Brothers Racing told me that my kit didn't need one?
I'm not sure, but I always thought exhaust systems on these things and motorcycles needed gaskets?
Thanks,
Randy

You must of asked him where is the gasket, and since he probably did not have any he told you that. Unless the FLANGE that bolts up to your head that they sold you has a built in piece that fits the indent in the head where the gasket goes you need one.

Alleyoop So, even if it does have that flange piece that fits the indent in the head, would it hurt anything to still make or put a gasket in there? I have gasket making material and could make one. |

I can't see a Chinese head and a Chinese pipe making their own seal... the metal O-ring gaskets suck, I use the good metal/fiber gasket and have even re-used it a few times. A head flange exhaust leak can cause backfires and other unpleasantries. When my flange kept coming loose, I knew it was time to snug it up when it started poopling down hills... lol  |

[replyingto=ltdhpp]ltdhpp[/replyingto]The other guy said, "I cant see a Chinese head and a Chinese pipe making their own seal" Yes my head is Chinese, but my header pipe is the two brothers pipe, and I didn't think it is Chinese, unless it is just the design. A gasket didn't come with my kit, I don't know if it needs one. The guy here from ScooterElements sells the same kit that I bought, I wonder if he knows if it needs a gasket for proper installation?

Ah, I forgot you were talking about a good exhaust system... lol. It probably wouldn't need one if the head & flange mated up perfect and the mounts for the muffler brackets lined up perfect, but I'd have one ready in case you need it.

[replyingto=devo344a]devo344a[/replyingto]No red silicone gasket maker would hold up to that heat that I know of...

Exactly there is no replacement for a good gasket. They cost like 2 bucks right? I can't remember ever seeing a four stroke pipe on anything without one...

[replyingto=doublert]doublert[/replyingto]Well, guess im gonna get a couple of those NCY gaskets from GY6racing, while im at it, gonna get the NCY oil decompression tube kit, some people have said the decomp oil kit won't do anything, but it looks pretty cool on my friends scooter. But hey, I bought the orance cdi and coil for 28$, that junk didnt do anything at all, been using my stock cdi with all the mods in my sig. Its not like that oil decomp kit is expensive, it kinda looks pretty neat!
