Gasket Replacement with new DP & Intercooler?
My 2018 M2 has just over 1200 miles in the month I've owned it, just completed the break-in service, and now it's time to install my new Fabspeed Sport Cat DP when it arrives next week.
With so few miles on the vehicle, is it necessary to replace the gasket and/or clamps when installing the new sport cat? If so, does anyone have a link for where I can purchase these items? Secondly, I'm also upgading the stock IC with an Active Autowerkes IC (not replacing the charge pipes at this time...). Are there any sort of gaskets on the attachment fittings to the stock charge pipes that need to be replaced? If so, does anyone have a link for where I can purchase these items? Thanks! |

I had my OEM downpipe swapped out for the Fabspeed Catless one at 4000kms (2450 miles) and the dealership did not swap the gasket out for a new one.
As for the intercooler, nope! No fittings or gaskets need to be replaced for that job.

There's no need, I swapped out the gasket and clamps...but that's because I love to swap out stuff HAHA.
Looking at the "old" and new one...both looked to be in the same condition. And I swapped around 1500 miles or so I think? So, no, save your money For the intercooler, nothing to replace, the charge pipes do have O-Rings in them which you would transfer to your new charge pipe (although the FTP Motorsport charge pipes come with new O-Rings and C-clips). Also, if you haven't already purchased the AA intercooler, don't get it...get a Wagner or CSF if you want actual performance increase in cooling. |

To add to the list of replies, I did mine at 700 and didn't replace the gasket.
