    Looking for input from those who have solved this problem - the OEM Exhaust Flange between the Cat pipe and the Muffler pipe rusted and the Muffler pipe dropped down a inch or two. I have to put them back together. Looking at these two products. Any suggestions, links and or experience appreciated.

    Walker sells (thru Advance I know) just that section of pipe between the muffler and the cat spring loaded muffler gasket flange but you would have to cut stock pipe off in front of the muffler. I replaced from cat back with walker and the flange donut they sell is not as thick as the stock so after several tries I reused my old OEM one to get a seal. The Walker spring loaded kit also was different than OEM and I how to add a few washers for tension. Or a trip to a local muffler shop!

    Thanks for the reply - I'll keep it in mind should the muffler pipe rust thru - on mine the flange rusted off but the pipe is expanded at the end so a clamp will work for now - trying to avoid the muffler shop last time I went to one they F'd up the oxygen sensor. I buy most parts from Advance because there is always a 20 % discount coupon available.

    I used this gasket because some guys on TW suggested it and the Walker was only $2 seemed too cheap - your post confirms that I made the correct choice. Bosal 256-1108 Exhaust Gasket See U posted at 3:49 AM. Up early ? Where R U ?
