Silencer to collector box gasket.

(1/3) > >>

Dolomite_:
I have fitted my new downpipe and collector box from Davidsilverspares and also tried using an OEM honda collector box to silencer graphite gasket but the collector box outlet seems to be too big and the gasket starts to break up when its being pushed on.

There is a decent sized gap between the OEM style silencer and collector box outlet so I cant really tighten it until its closed. Has anyone had luck with a different sized gasket? Or used something else as a gasket?

Laverda Dave:
There are two sizes of gasket, one (smaller) size is the the downpipe to collector box gasket, there are two of these whilst the other slightly larger gasket fits between the silencer and collector box. Have you fitted the correct size as normally they are a good fit wthout too much crushing. I fit them onto the collector box first and then slide the silencer over, its fiddly but usually goes on OK.

Dolomite_:
Yeah, its definitely the bigger one as it came in a different packaging and part number compared to the 2 smaller ones. I'll try and push it on again. It seemed to be stretching it when I only got it on about 10mm.

Eldrick:
I have the same issue with the Brituro silencer, I had to widen the end of it to make the gasket fit in and even then it has deformed the gasket.

Did you manage to get in on properly without it splitting?
