ok.........just got my uppipe installed last week, and it's leaking somehow i haven't found where exactly it's coming from cuz it's kinda hard to find the leak, I just ordered uppipe inlet/outlet gaskets. I'm just gonna replace the gakets see if that will fix the problem. i was told the old gaskets may have be compressed (bought the uppipe 3rd hand)....here's the question the uppipe was installed by shop, now i don't wanna spend more money on installation so i wanna DIY.....how hard is it to install the gaskets? can i just slide the gasket in? instead of lift up the engine and take out the uppipe?


thanks guys

 

up-pipe is the hardest install on a subaru, I wish you luck.

you can prolly slide the lower gasket in and out, but the upper is going to be a nightmare, you still need to remove everything to get to it.

what kind of up-pipe did you buy? Why didnt the shop recommend new gaskets when they installed it ?

 

And does the shop guarantee its work? Take it back. When they whine about it say that you'll supply new gaskets... then when they agree produce them from your glovebox

when i installed my up and down pipes i didnt have to lift the engine
do you have a flex up pipe?
