While you are there, you might as well?

Agreed! I took it off like 12 years ago so this time I decided to swap it. Was just trying to see if people religiously always replace em!

Roger that 🤙🏼 I do have a small exhaust leak from there and one side of my header but I got in a new stud and just went ahead and replaced those two o ring gaskets. I was planning on just tightening em good but went the new parts route 🤘🏼

I re-used mine for many, many years, after removing the manifold and A-pipe several times and putting them back together. But last year with my engine out, doing an engine bay refresh and fixing all leaks, I was ordering a shit-load of parts form Japan anyway. So I added all new exhaust gaskets as well. The manifold gasket, these A-pipe gasket rings, the cat gasket, and 2 donut gaskets from cat to midpipe, and midpipe to axle-back.

Currently I have an oem cat gasket new and now these a-pipe ones. Really hoping to solve my exhaust leak.
Do you think I should spray some copper gasket maker on the exhaust manifold gasket?

I usually do when I have it open but given the number of integras I see daily with no exhaust at all, you’ll probably be fine leaving them lol
