Where to get exhaust gaskets in Bay Area on weekends.

Which bay area shops open on weekends that still sells gaskets. Headers gaskets, headers to front converter, graphite donut, midpipe to muffler gaskets. All the subaru parts shops are closed on weekends.

Any help would be appreciated.

why wouldnt you wanna use oem gasket? they work better. personally i would use oem gaskets all the time unless i was switching up exhaust to a bigger piping then of course i wouldnt be able to use oem gaskets anymore. but if you could i would insist on using oem gaskets.

I would actually use Grimmspeed gaskets which are 4 layered, better quality than OEM, and cheaper too!

you are correct (sundays are day off) but we are setting up our new shop and will be around.

I would need to check stock tomorrow for you, we just used a ton of gaskets yesterday on another car but we might still have all the ones you need (I know for sure I have most if not all gaskets, only one I'm not sure about is the donut one).

Awesome, but not sure if its a good thing or bad but out of desperation I went to an exhaust shop to get a quote and they said they can provide me with some gaskets.

Its because I will be installing my new exhaust and some re-flanging and re-welding is needed.

Not sure if the gaskets they provide/make are good ones but its a good temporary substitute before I go out and buy some during the weekdays.
