DP Gaskets Stock or Not?

335iJWC · 08-31-2011, 04:55 PM

Im installing my Cattless DPs this weekend.

i could get all 4 of the stock gaskets for about $50 from BMW

or go with after markets.(the AR gaskets)

or can i use the exsisting ones?

Reusing the existing ones would probably be ok......but i always replace any gasket if im swapping parts out, they are just a little fragile so i always go the safe route. As far as bmw or aftermarket, id go with whichever is cheaper because they will both prob be good.....

good luck

It's worth getting the AR one's. Replace them man so for sure no leaks.

My gaskets between DPs and midpipes were toast, had to pay $38 for two at the stealer. The two gasket rings on the turbos don't need to be replaced as long as you are not too rough during removal and install-- at least that's what I heard from a forum sponsor that has done a couple dozen DP installs.

bought mine at autozone for $3 each... fit perfect. It was a little hard for the guy to find a match, but he did eventually. just took the DP in.

Sounds like a winner I'll try this today
