VRSF downpipe question M4

[echio22669]

I am planning on buying the vrsf downpipes for my f82. My question is do I need all the gaskets. Downpipe to midpipe gaskets, turbo to downpipe gasket and turbo to downpipe v-band clamps? Also what finish would you recommend.

Thanks

I was under the impression that they only came in one finish. There is no turbo-downpipe gasket; only the donuts that go between the dp’s and the Midpipe. I would definitely replace those. The only reason to replace the vbands would be if they break during the swap.

There is actually a turbo to downpipe gasket. It's in the exhaust housing.

Its always recommended to change them but if your stock ones are in good condition its not mandatory
