Does anyone know a part number for the exhaust outlet gasket (2", I think) for the Tru Ram exhaust manifolds that Speedway sells? I am guessing that's what mine are. I am pretty sure one of mine is toast so I'm hoping it's a regularly stocked gasket at O'Reilly's, etc. Thanks.

Whatever you buy make sure it has the inner stainless ring. Muffler shops don’t have them in my area let alone parts stores stocking them.

It's an odd sized flange and gasket not commonly found. In my case I have had poor success with standard thickness gaskets. There is a gasket made extra thick of graphite by "Ramflex" that will allow for slight misalignment or mismatch of the flanges. They are a bit pricey but solved the problem. Part number RFL-8061. The Remflex web site gives a good description and all dimensions. Hope this helps....

Thanks for the tip. I will have to remember that one... I took a closer look today and figured I'd just recheck the torque on the exhaust manifold bolts...I used the one on the passenger side front to size up my sockets. First socket was way too big and so was the second...wait a minute- it was exactly right but the bolt wasn't even finger tight...well, all of the bolts were loose, on both sides. So I torqued them all down to 30 and the noise is gone.

Do yourself (or the next guy) a favor. Get some anti seize on them now if it isn’t already there. Even with brass fasteners, stuck is always a problem. Glad it’s solved.
