Turbo to DP Gasket and Bolts
I just picked up a DP on Sunday and my exhaust should be here tomorrow. I'm trying to source all the misc parts i will need so i can knock this out. Anyone have a local spots that has good prices on the turbo to DP gasket, the studs/bolts and a 2 bolt 3" exhaust gasket to connect the DP to the CBE midpipe?

Started to put it on tonight and I used the long hangers and it was a real tight fit because it is pushing the pipe to low and tilting the midpipe to dp flange. Then I find out the bolts i have wont mate the cbe to the stock DP flange so i had to run to Home Depot to pick up hardware, i also picked up some longer bolts for the mid pipe to Perrin DP as well.For the p. Going to try the stock hangers in a couple of spots and the new hardware. Going to see how it sounds with stock DP and then do the perrin after the Honeymoon.
Test fit with long hanger.
looks like short hangers will be the better choice.

Got it installed and it sounds really good, nice rumble not loud. Looks really clean. Xl hangers seem to long, stocks work but I think a size that's a little longer than stock would be better.
