How do I install an exhaust gasket? Be specific. The reason why I ask is because Ive taken my exhaust pipe off before and I never saw a gasket there sooooo....what do I do? I ordered one today should be here this week. So any info on it would be helpful.

i assume you mean the copper ring? you wanna try clean any carbon build up of your exhaust outlet and then stick the copper ring in and put your exhaust back on quite simple

So it goes all the way inside the hole? I thought it just sits on the outside like a washer?

no mate it sits inside your exhaust port and you then tighten the exhaust manifold bolts up. then when the copper ring heats up it will expand slightly to ensure a good seal.

Is there supposed to be a spiral bendable steel thing inside? I have an ssr125 sr and when I took the exhaust off I saw a spiral thing hanging in the exhaust port

It came with my tb head (one of the squish ones) so you hopefully will see it soon also comes with most gasket kits.. i would prefer copper any day though

the spiral exhaust manifold gasket you found would have looked like this, before it started falling apart.
they have high temp gasket material between each layer of the spiral.
but yours' has all fallen out, due to getting hot over and over again when riding.

the copper ring gasket will last a lot longer than the type you had.

So do I just pull the old one out? Or stuff the new one on top of it?

 

[gottagetacheaperhobby]

pull it out mate you dont want old gasket in there with new
