I need to remove my exhaust to replace my clutch cable and was wondering if the donut gaskets have to be replaced or if they can be re-used. Thanks

 

Have on occasions reused them
But do you really want to chance it.

Those seals are usually easy to get and not all that expensive


Maybe just me but I don't enjoy pulling pipes more than I have too.

I don't reuse gaskets of any sort unless its an emergency.

 

Are these as good as any or should I use something else?

I believe most use HD gaskets. Cometic is a known brand though so likely fine.

 

I use only HD as I have not found another which seals as well.

 

No reason for me to use anything but H-D as long as I can get them.


I've gotten away with reusing them on occasion, but I find they're just as likely to have a leak afterward.


An exhaust leak will make you think you have a bad valve or lifter. Don't ask how I know.

 

Cometic is fine.

Been there! Gaskets from J and P inexpensive and work great.

 

With the 5 bucks shipping I think you can pick a pair up at the dealer for the same or less
