Not usually, though I'm sure they would contribute if worn. In my experience, the
gasket will last about 3000 miles between changes on a well maintained and unmodified
car. The failure is also common on the Dolomite 1500 which uses the same downpipe
arrangement, though obviously the rest of the system is different,
Cheers,
Bill.
