Y Pipe Gasket Replacements

Thanks for quick reply. I am replacing my exhaust with a new one and was worndering if all the exhaust gaskets were the same. Does anyone know if there is a parts manual for the Spyders. I have a repair manual, it showed a diagram of the exhaust system, but no part numbers for the parts. The gaskets looked the same in the diagram. Thanks for letting me know that the gaskets are different sizes.

You only need the large 90 gasket for use with the stock pipe. After market pipes just use black high temp RTV.

Dumb question:

Are the " Y " gaskets the same for the RS and RT ?

:dontknow: I have no problem. Could it be your browser settings? Here is another to try. http://store.spyder.brp.com/ Go to the parts tab on that page.

Replaced stock gaskets at 6000.Right side was totally gone. Replaced with Honda gaskets. How long should the Honda ones last?

Uneducated me with another question... pps:

"Y gaskets..." Where do these suckers belong on the bike and how would I know when the BRP ones have turned to mush?

Sorry...

Sorry...

There where the pipes drop down before the muffler, There held together with a clamp and a spring [similar to the spring used on 2 stroke pipes']
When they start going bad you'll get excess heat from the right side [more than usual] But the first sign is noise coming from the right side pipe
For some reason the right side gasket gos first, Mine [08] started at 6 k totaly gone at 8k [right side] left 75% gone.

Haven't heard of this happening on an RT. Save the greasy fingernails for later...unless you feel compelled to remove the body panels to look for your tools and your jumper. :roflblack:
