I'm shortly going to be fitting a deresonated centre pipe. I've just spoken to Subaru about getting new gaskets for either side of the pipe - the one between the pipe and the backbox is a fiver, but the one between the pipe and the rear cat is £25, which seems a bit steep...

Does anyone know if it's really necessary to change this one, or will I be able to re-use it? The car is three years old, but has only done 13,000 miles.

Thanks for any advice :-)

 

The price is correct as it's a large donut shaped affair, however you can usually reuse it as a result.

 

ive got a new one spare but its a 3" diameter one.

 

I'm fairly sure mine would be 2.5" - it's currently the PPP system.

 

there are some on fleabay a bit cheaper than subaru and they are original subaru ones.
