You can order one from onlinemazdaparts.com as well. Get the donut gasket (header to midpipe) as well...yours might not be reusable.

Truth. I had to use a Dremel cutting wheel to get my old on off. A new one is around $6... make sure they don't give you a generic round gasket. The one you need has a bit of a cone shape to it.

i have a same problem with him..

i search it on onlinemazdaparts.com but i couldnt find where is it.
can you guys copy it and paste it in here.?

tnx guys,,

another option if you want it fast is go to a mazda dealership, they should have on in stock but itll cost a bit more than someplace else

 

[jhervyn_mp5]

are you talking about the gasket for the obx headers?
because that's the 1 im looking for.

 

[jhervyn_mp5]

can you kindly search for me where you can buy the gasket..

and paste it in here if can?tnx dude

The manifold gasket or the donut gasket? If you go to AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts, they should be able to pull up a diagram of the exhaust and you can point out which one you need. Its the gasket directly in front of the mid-pipe which has the 2nd cat.

O2 sensors? Sometimes they can be a b**** to get out. Try a little heat from a torch. Do NOT use wd-40 or pb blaster... you will ruin your sensors. Just keep turning it back and forth until it breaks completely loose.

will a heat gun work?

and can i use something on that one part on the side of the header the screws on?

 

[speedracr79]

do you have the tool for it...it makes it alot easier you can do it w/o it but i recommend it...mine came off with a little help from my friendly neighborhood breaker bar (piece of pipe i had lying around)

 

[PRO5.REL]

well i just bought the tool for it..im gonna give it a try in a bit...

theres also another hard part to take off and its the piece thats connected to a pipe on the side of the old header idk what its called but what can i use to make it loose besides wd40

 

[azuelke]

^ EGR pipe?

 

[bigpturgeon]

That one?

 

[speedracr79]

I don't have that one on mine so I got no idea I have a cap on it

 

[PRO5.REL]
