HKS Hi Power Question
Hi,
I am buying a 2 year old used HKS exhaust, and was told to get new gaskets. Can I reuse the two gaskets that is currently on the HKS? (It seems the OEM is a one piece catback while the HKS has 3 pieces, hence the two additional gaskets)
As for the big gasket connecting the mid-pipe to the catback, is it worth buying one from the dealer or should I reuse the one on the OEM exhaust?
Thanks

If you reuse your gaskets, you will have some level of gapping, which will lead leaks.

However, I do not need to replace the two gasket on the axel back since I am buying the HKS exhaust used from another car, and the gasket has already been sealed. I am assuming the swap does not require me to disassemble the HKS into its original 3 pieces, correct? I can just disconnect it from the mid-pipe and put the entire hks onto my current car?
