hi i bought 1 like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAZDA-RX7-FD3S-POLISHED-ALLOY-INTAKE-PIPE-INDUCTION-/230544215745?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ad818ec1 and was just wondering when i put it on if i could seal it onto the throttle body with instant gasket without it blowing the sealer out or is there a reusable rubber seal in there?
