Tanabe Exhaust Gasket? Anyone
Is there a gasket after the axel back? when replacing OEM exhaust with aftermarket?
Did anyone replace it when changing exhaust?
Part Number from Lexus?

There's a hard cone/donut gasket after the resononater but you don't replace it. I did put a little hi-temp copper Permatex on it, just my effort to make sure it didn't leak. Just so you don't have to search, no one know's what the torque is for the spring loaded bolts. Do us all a favor, none of us checked ourselves in install excitement, see if you can tighten the bolts at all before you unscrew them. I snugged mine to 35 ft.lbs but some people didn't fully compress the spring. No one thought to see how compressed the spring was. BTW it's an easy DYI.

I wanted to take a pre-caution before the install, prevent any leaks. Where can I pick up a copper Permatex?
