Exhaust gaskets?

[800steve]

All you high milers, when your exhaust gaskets went bad were there any codes thrown by the computer. I know on most cars with an exhaust leak before O2 sensor, codes will show up due to false mixture. Just curious to see if this happened and if a way to tell if its leaking before a full blowout.

mine just started running bad. occasional backfire, cracking and popping, in the 4k rpm range. turns out just the right side clamp was loose. i put in honda gaskets anyway, to be done with it.:thumbup: happy ending.

Is there a specific Honda gasket? Perhaps a part number?

If I'm not mistaken the Honda gasket's won't fit an RT!

That is correct.

[Yazz]

Had the right side gasket burn out at around 7-8k. No codes thrown, just poor performance and a very hot right leg. At 31k now with the Honda gaskets and going good.

Hope the RT crowd finds a good non-OEM replacement... :pray:

[babeshorty]

does anyone know the honda part number for the slip joint gasket for the RT

BUMP,!!

[babeshorty]

I know the RS gasket will not fit the RT but is there another gasket number to replace it. After market one?

There is none that I know of. The RT gaskets are far more robust, however, so the factory gaskets have not been a problem. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

:agree: It is my understanding that BRP actually looked into the exhaust gasket issue and made improvements based on all of us who were changing to the Honda gaskets on our GS Spyders.

I believe you are talking about the actual MUFFLER GASKET ? ??..If so the Honda gasket is only for the smaller exhaust pipes......Mike :thumbup:

You need to use the BRP gasket. There is no Honda equivalent for the muffler gasket.

:agree: No need for an injection of Honda DNA in this case. :2thumbs:
