Just bought the full catback HKS exhaust and I forgot to put the donut gasket do I really need it? I didn't hear no exhaust leak.

If there is no leak, me personally I wouldn't take it all back off to put it on lol. How does this sound? Any exhaust clips? How do you like it?

No leaks came with gaskets. It's ok not that loud unless vtec cracks. I'm talking about this donut gasket not the cat one

Idk how to post a video on here lol
I think you should be okay, put it on when you have time for piece of mind. If it's not leaking though I think you should be fine. DM it to me if you have a video lol

I seen a video with another guy looked like they didn't put it on either. I still can't send the video

As someone with OCD, this would haunt me. And, it is brand new and will not get easier to disassemble the longer you wait. As others have said, probably not a big deal. But I have OCD. Everything is a big deal! :LOL:

Its also meant to seal during engine torque movement.
I have this same exhaust also, I thought it was discontinued.

How do you like it? I originally wanted the full race, but I'm deciding to get the thermal when I can afford it. Open to other options though.

It's ok not that loud sounds stock tbh sounds good when vtec cracks though

Sounds pretty good. low rumble when started, a lot lower sounding than stock. WOT is pretty loud but I am running the Buddy Club header, along with the Buddy Club test pipe modified with Random technology HFC installed. Originally I was using CT-E header, Random Technology down pipe and HKS. Big difference in sound
I will also add - i think this is the best looking exhaust available for the USDM chassis. None of the others did it for me.
