Default Stealership Gaskets...holy crap?!!?!?

So, I just bought some HFCs off a fellow board member..and was searching around for some gaskets...the ones that go between the headers and the cats. No one around here can even find the part...except the dealership. they want 21.xx PER GASKET....so nearly 45 bucks to get TWO gaskets.


ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?!! am i the only one who thinks that is outrageous?!

Anyone know where to get them for a reasonable price??

What? I found them online for $5 for a set a while back. I'll try to dig up the link.

*edit* Actually, I was hasty when reading and didn't see that you meant the header outlet gasket. I've only managed to find one that look similar at Advance Auto Parts.

I took all my gaskets to a few auto parts stores and Advance Auto Parts (the ones I mentioned above) had a crap load of gaskets to compare against.

It may be worth a try going down to those types of stores to see if they have anything in stock. I wouldn't hold your breath though.

If the situation can be prolongued, keep looking (e:bay?). Don't give up, dude,
that's why they're called stealerships!
