Help, RT CAT Install

I am trying to get my CAT in before it is dark, I got it today but there were not instructions specifying weather or not I needed to use the old gaskets off of the OEM Cat to connect to the cat back exhaust. Should I pry this gasket out of the CAT or just not use one? Where it connects to my DC Header is clear enough but I am not sure what to do with the back. I would rather not guess and test as that takes time with a hot part.

I would definitely use a gasket. Either buy a new one or reuse the old. PM Moda_way or JTso if you need an answer ASAP.

Edit: There's Moda_way

That's just funny!

I just got done ordering my Comptech Headers, header gasket and post-cat gasket. I replace everything just in case (actually b/c I'm OCD about it), but I can tell you in most cases it isn't necessary to get a new gasket.

So I got the install done, I left the post cat gasket out as it would not mate up well, but I reused my gasket from my dc-header.

...AND??


What do you think? Did you get a chance to drive it yet. The big things I'm wondering about is how much louder it is and if you lost any low end power.

I would say there is in increas in low end power, and the volume increas is realy quite small, it sounds tough down low, like if you had a Cat Back Ehaust but I would not say it is loud. I dont notice it with the windows up.
