source for exhaust gaskets

[jesusgatos]

I just got my new D-series turbo back from Ken, and I've got the turbo install gaskets, but I need those three gaskets for the flex-pipe that connects the turbo to the J-pipe. Are these parts that I can buy at a local parts store (like NAPA), or do I need to order them from an MV parts supplier?

I have them, but they come with the complete clean air kit. $200 plus shipping.

Thanks anyway...

You should be able to get them at NAPA. Just measure your pipe and tell them the size.

Tried that today and the guys there just looked at me like I was an idiot. Said they had NEVER seen gaskets like that. I know they're not too uncommon, but need to be able to tell them exactly what I need. Guess maybe I could try going to an exhaust shop?

Not available aftermarket that I could find after visiting NAPA and three heavy truck parts counters.

The only place I've heard of people finding them is in the complete exhaust kits like Doghead mentioned.

P.S. That's a very fair price on the exhaust kits...

You've got to be fawking kidding me!?! Really? I just can't stomach that.

Have you called the ususal MV places like, Saturn, Memphis, White Owl, Boyce, Antelope Valley,Clark, Sam Winer..... I would expect one of them to have gaskets availible.

Thanks doghead. I hadn't checked with any of those places because I was hoping that I'd be able to find them locally. Should have planned ahead...

Anyway, just ordered them from Boyce. $4ea. Should be here sometime early next week.

Glad you found them. Nice to know Boyce has them.
