MY gaskets that connect from the downpipes to the exhaust on the left side is leaking. I replaced the bolts on it but still are leaking.

Could I buy some stock gaskets from BMW and use those or do I need to order some special ones?

No special ones needed. Go to local autozone or whatever is your local auto parts supplier and ask for exhaust gaskets

I don't see why the BMW ones won't work. Otherwise, I have heard good things about the AR gaskets.

I want something local lol I'll try auto zone ones

If you can't find anything that works locally get a sheet of the mr gasket material from orileys and cut it to fit. I had a mangled gasket on the lude, no shops carried the size, so I just traced it out on there and cut it out.

what were the symptoms of your exhaust leaking from the DP to CB?

[Motastic]

well the symtoms were merely me just having the car on the lift and saw black around one of the downpipes, put my hand there and felt warm air.

[Motastic]

let me ask you a question

are these the same http://www.verociousmotorsports.com/...-Flange-Gasket

as

http://www.ardesign.info/store/ar-de...asket-kit.html

so if i order the ones from vericious, they would the same as long as i get the 2 1/2"

Do you plan to offer upgraded bolts with the DPs moving forward? I know some people have stated that they picked up Grade 8 bolts and others say the ones you supply are fine. Maybe its an add-on option?

Your the man! PM'd you right now.

[Tiago@VRSF]

All new downpipe orders from about 2 weeks on have been upgraded to the grade 12 bolts and will continue moving forward

I know some people had issues and that's enough for me to offer a higher quality option. We want to eliminate any potential un-awesomeness in our product if we can.

Thanks for the update. Do you currently have the DPs in stock? I might have a friend stopping by to pick a set up for me in the next few weeks.

[Tiago@VRSF]

In stock & ready to ship/pickup!

[rdeterman]

mine did the same thing.. i doubled up the gaskets until i got new oem ones

[rdeterman]

i also needed new bolts and nuts.. the ones that came with mine were junk.. but i got the downpipes a few months ago.. i bought new stainless steel nuts and bolts locally.. not a big deal

[Tiago@VRSF]

E-mail me your order number & I'll have my guy send you new bolts.
