So I busted the gasket on the pasenger side manifold to mid pipe collector. I went to my local Ford dealership and the reject at the parts dept. couldnt find it in the computer. Says its not listed and couldnt find it in the exploded view either. So can someone please give me a part number so I can pick one up!! Or steer me to another place to get one cheaper??

You could pick one up at an auto parts store, if it doesnt work, try calling up another ford dealer.

I picked mine up for 4 bux, IDK if it is any good as I havent installed the Xpipe yet.

I went to my local Autozone and Napa. Nothing in their computers. Just some type of catalytic converter gasket that looks flat.

It goes by the "exhaust manifold flange gasket".

They got me a gasket for the catalytic converter also, and that was even for pre-99 Stangs in my case. Its not a popular part by name, and chances are it wont be in stock. Its the manifold flange gasket for the passenger side, someone will find it, lol.

I knew the name of it. Fel Pro Brand and it looks very much like it will work right, if not and a leak persists, I will just go to ford across the street....

That's global for all 2.5" exhaust correct, not just 99+?

And which side goes where?

There is one flatter side at the flange and the other is rounder...

Does the rounder one face the manifold or what?
