Any performance shop around Davis/Sac that sells 3" exhaust gaskets?

Or anyone have one they wanna sell me? I'm thinking of doing my catback exhaust and I'm planning on replacing the gaskets. The car has around 16k miles on it, do you guys think I'll need new gaskets? I need a 3" for the muffler to midpipe and 2.5" for midpipe to downpipe, but I'm sure the stock donut 2.5" gasket will work.


I tried Kragens, they don't sell them. I know I can order them online but I need one asap. Can anyone help me out, thanks.

Keep in mind, I've only been to Tognotti's, so I can't vouch for any of these other companies.

Don't be too hard on yourself, with all these whiz-bang electronic gizmos available to us, it's easy to become complacent.

I'm more of an old-school kinda guy; I started by looking at my copy of last year's Sacramento SBC (now AT&T) Yellow Pages, then went to Yahoo! to find the websites and maps.

BTW, I recommend to ANY college student who has moved away from home to go get a copy of the local Yellow Pages. It's hella much faster to "let your fingers do the walking", rather than having to boot up your computer and wait your turn on the internets.

I've always used the gasket sheets you can buy at any Kragen and cut out my own gaskets for that Muffler-Midpipe connections. Haven't had any leaks, and I've reused the same gasket about 5 times.

One package will give you anough gasket material to make 5-6 gaskets. Easy to do with a sheetrock knife.

^ do you use the gasket maker stuff with that, or just run the sheets by themselves. i've always looked at those things, and been a little skeptikal about them myself, but hey if it works then kick ***!

which asian automotive place?


and my buddy did the cut out gasket and it worked fine for him, I just don't know where they are, I'll ask kragen again but they don't seem like they know too much. I asked him about the gasket and they said they didn't have any, I would've thought he might refer me to the cut out gaskets, i'll try again today.


Naresh, check your PM.


Thanks everyone.

^ kragen's is pretty much useless for pretty much everything. Don't ya remember?
I think i went to like 3 kragen's asking about 3" gaskets and none of them had it, or knew where i might find one.
