Hi,
So after reading some of the threads here when I removed the stock muffler I made sure to find the gasket (silver colored ring that was wedged in the end of the tube that meets the header) and mangled it pretty bad with some pliers trying to get it out as it wasn’t coming out easily. When I went to try to fit the Arrow around it there was no way it was going in - upon closer inspection, the stock muffler pipe is noticeably wider than the Arrow pipe. I was pretty much shredding it trying to get to fit. Now the stock gasket is unusable, but I saw many had put their Arrow on without using the stock gasket with no issue, however after trying it twice it’s still leaking air from that joint. What am I missing here? Arrow didn’t include a different gasket to use, stock one wasn’t going in, but it’s leaking without it. I’m now trying to make my own gasket with material bought at an auto parts store. Any help would be appreciated!
