gaskets for mid pipe install

[87 blown stang]

i seen in another thread that there is a gasket between the manifolds and midpipe? i bought my prochamber used. what do i need to get and where do i get them? also they said that one of them is metal, my car has like 3000 mi on it, would the stock one be ok, or is there one stock? also they were talking about getting new studs? i just want to cover all bases before i rip the stock off.

There is one metal gasket on the passenger side (if I remember correctly) manifold where it connects to the mid pipe. I put my X pipe on when my car only had about 10k, but I went ahead and replaced the gasket anyway. The original probably would have been fine, but they are only about $7 from Ford, so I thought I'd play it safe.

You should be able to get them from any Ford parts dept.

usually, depending on the miles on the car, the composit gasket on passenger side can be reused tho. i suggest that you change them, but in the pintch, you can reuse them

I reused mine when I put my prochamber on. Still works like a charm.

Agreed, that gasket is cheap so it's a good idea to replace it with a new one.
But you can re-use the old one if it's in good shape if you are really on a tight budget...
