For those who have Tanabe Medalion Touring axleback...help please!
Hi,
I just bought a used Tanabe MT axleback for my 2009 IS250 AWD....original owner had it on a 2006 IS250 AWD
Aside from the right and left pieces, it comes with 2 screws that attaches them together
Other than that, does a brand new Tanabe MT come with anything else?
I want to make sure I have all the hardware I need before I take it in to a garage to install
Thanks!
EDIT: should it come with 2 gasket? 1 between the left and right pieces, and another one to attach to stock mid pipe?

A
He cannot find it, as well the screws are all rusted so I will be getting new screws.
But I have no idea where to find a fitting gasket since I don't know the size

Do you remember the spec of the gasket?
Ps: the gasket is small I think the auto parts store has some close to it
I googled and googled and found a post where somebody contacted Tanabe and they told him just replace it with a 50mm gasket with 2 standard mounting holes
I found one at local part shop for $2.99 +tx
Also picked up some Permatex Ultra Copper sealant for the part where the axleback attaches to the stock midpipe.
Will try to get it installed Thursday...Hopefully all goes well!
Thanks

Yeah that's what I read too so got some copper sealant...just in case. If the bodyshop guy says I don't need it then I will just return it....just to be safe xD
