where to purchase 3 inch exhaust gaskets

Does any know where to purchase 3 in exhaust gaskets? locally in the bay area? preferably some puffy types. I need one to go between the helix down pipe and greddy evo 2 catback. Its pretty generic so would kragen or napa sell it?
thanks in advance.

Crucial Racing has gaskets. They're crush type, so you torque them on, drive around a bit, torque them on again.

wow 24 dollars for one gasket? is it worth it? perhaps it might be better buying a set for 75. how many people are running these gaskets?

I've heard good things about the crush type though, basically leak proof right?

Yes, the Crucial Racing gaskets are worth it. I had a fat leak where the catback meets the downpipe, threw one of these gaskets on and the leak stopped.

I have a brand new Crucial Racing Downpipe to Turbo gasket. Let me know if you need one of those too.

The Crucial Racing gaskets are a little pricey, but for what they are and the ability to seal, I think they're worth it

the crucial gaskets are high quality. Crucial takes there time in making parts available so that they can ensure they're quality products.

Plus if you call jeremy he probably won't charge you the online price cause he's just like that.
