[QUOTE;1832918]The only reason the clamps are right and left, is a small tab on the clamp that holds the gasket sleeve in place, this means the clamps cannot be turned around on the opposite side and still have the bolts face down for access. I recently changed a set on a friends ST and the gaskets were also shot and they were expensive also. They are a hard fibrous material that looks like they could crack if the exhaust is rotated and left unsupported.[/QUOTE]
Yes, I bought one of them (exhaust pipe gasket) and was blown away by the price ($40+ ? i forget). But I figured it was better to have it on hand when I pulled things apart than need it and delay putting it all together. And, I don't like paying shipping charges twice for parts that are small and don't weigh much.
