Stebro Exhaust Install Woes
Just got my Stebro Exhaust today and I've got the gasket "issue."
Can you all please post your workarounds/fixes? I read another thread that addressed the situation, but I didn't get a real clear idea on the best way to take care of it. Right now the exhaust is at my dealership. Would I be better off taking it to a muffler shop? I'm in the Augusta County area (live) as well as the Albemarle County area (work) here in Virginia if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks in advance.

Fixes
I believe that Stebro has changed the mounting area at the front of the longer center section, so anything in here on mounting might be outdated. Didn't they send an installation kit with the system to include gaskets?

Nope, just the two sections and that was it. Believe me, it was no fun scouring through the garbage to make sure I didn't miss anything in the packaging...

The gasket is a common doughnut looking one. You probably would be better of at a muffler shop.

Problem Solved
For anyone that needs a gasket for the Stebro system in the future, a 2 9/16" inside diameter donut exhaust gasket will do the trick. NAPA Part# is 31508.
Hope this helps future installs. Sounds sweet! Last edited by rhodesy; 07-06-2007 at 06:49 PM. |

Glad it worked out for you! It is one SWEET sound, especially in the 1500~2000 rpm range and again in the 3500+ rmp range!
Enjoy~~

I just got my exhaust today,and was told by stebro that all factory subaru gaskets will work,so I hope that is right since I bought them...The rear "bearing gasket being $58!!! I also got the converter from them since mine is starting to leak.It will bolt up just like the factory,has dual inlet's and single out.But there is no oxygen sensor hole. I plan on calling them tomorrow,but has anyone else installed their cat? Do I have to take it to have someone weld one in? Hmmmmm

Re: Stebro Exhaust Install Woes
I'm sorry to bump such an old thread, but I ran into the same problem this weekend when installing my new stebro. I found a gasket which was a perfect fit and was available at my local autozone.
I thought this information would be useful to those who have this issue in the future. PS - I forgot how great these things sound. Wow!
