Getting ready to install UPR O/R/X with Magnaflow C/B

[98Redbird]

Just curious what odds and ends I'll need? Obviously probably new gaskets? Does anyone have the part number so I can order them up at the local dealership? Anything else I might need??

Thanks

Local parts store can get you the gasket,(can't remember the part#) you only need the passenger side, it's cheap.
A lift would be great for the install,can be done with jack stands. Pretty straight forward, easy mod.

Hope your upr or/x pipe has a groove for the gasket to sit in, or it will leak very fast. I know because mine didn't. You might want to consider a high temp rtv sealant, like the copper stuff.

Here's a fel-pro one I got at advance auto.

I've installed numerous UPR pipes and never needed any sealant. While it may be good advice, I've had great success with just the gasket. I would however spring the extra couple bucks for the OEM Ford gasket from the dealership. Much better quality and seals for me everytime. And, if I'm not mistaked the UPR pipes are grooved for the gasket. Enjoy the new setup!

Well mine sure wasn't!:shrug:

Hmm...now you got me thinking with those pics. :shrug: I'm pretty sure mine was either grooved or had a lip of some sort. In either case, the Ford gasket alone worked for me everytime.

No groves on mine either... UPR Catted X. I reused the original gasket! Mine does have a small leak on driver side, not worth going under the car again.

Can't stand leaks and heard upr leaks alot. Decided to go magnflow x pipe with ford gasket. Still put some copper rtv and leak free!

This cake it up and get a fordgasket, make sure the pipe is level and don't tighten all the bolts on the header flange at once, go back and forth then snug every thing up.

Does anyone know what way the gasket has to go on with the thicker part up towards the manifold or down towards the x pipe I have a leak as well and have dropped my bbk x pipe like four five times and the leak can only be heard under a load while driving the car please help
