Which way does exhuast manifold to midpipe gasket go?

[sapperstang78]

I am redoing my exhaust tonight and need to know this before I go any further. I need to know which way this gasket goes. Its the exhaust manifold to midpipe gasket. One said of it is raised while the other is flat. Which side goes which way? It is the stock gasket. Thanks

The raised side goes up into the manifold. Good luck!

Word of advice , change the studs so that you can tighted the midpipe up better , factory studs have a flange on them so you can only tighten them up so far , and they need to be TIGHT . Get some regular studs , (not sure which thread size is , so take the old ones with you to compare ) , and use brass nuts and you shouldnt have any problems with leaks like i did , but i fixed mine and later got long tubes , so good luck
