“As manifold gaskets are compression gaskets, it’s unlikely even the most skilled of technicians will be able to get them in the exact same position again if they intend on reusing them”, Blinston comments.

Much like gaskets, support rubbers can deteriorate and break over time, with rubber known to perish with age. Failure to replace worn support rubbers or hangers can allow too much movement in the exhaust, which could cause damage to the replacement unit. Should an under oor unit become detached and make impact with the ground, it could potentially destroy the internal monolith, meaning a costly further replacement would be required.

Rusty nuts and bolts can sometimes lose threads, meaning they may not be long enough to t the new unit – something usually not discovered until the unit is about to be tted onto the vehicle. Purchasing replacements in advance may help avoid delays or unnecessary complications when it comes to tting. What’s more, springs can lose their strength and so cannot hold joints together e ectively, thus allowing the joints to blow.

The company is also warning against the use of exhaust paste, as when used in front of a catalytic converter to try and rectify tting issues, it will invalidate the unit’s warranty. The company recommends using a kit designed speci cally to t the unit to the vehicle to avoid complications and possible warranty failures.
