The only gasket that I didn't get was the one that fits between the cat-pipe flange to the first flange on the HKS main pipe (sorry don't know the "proper" names of the pipes).

But all the other gaskets were included by Richard...my resolve was just to use "exhaust pipe cement" sold at the local Trak Auto. I haven't had any problems since the install many months ago....this included two long distant trips (one to Asheville, and one to Denver, CO), and many short trips related to everyday driving....

Gotta find the number and see if "my guy" is still there. As far as hardware (the bolts), just go over to a hardware store, and the gaskets...go to a muffler shop and see if they can cut you out the gaskets out of material they may have. Another option, and I don't know how viable this may be, but get some thick fiber material (kind of like woven fiberglass)and cut it to shape.

Hope that's of some help, otherwise, I'll give you a call tomorrow to see if I can find someone from HKS to help.

If it's "hardened" I don't think that it'd serve the purpose a gasket is supposed to.

Sorry to hear that, give HKS or the company you purchased the exhaust from a call, have them overnite it. Mine came with everything to hook it up.

yeah but I was dumb and bought used from one of the members here. It looks to be as he advertised minus the shitty packaging (and resulting dammage) and the lack of hardware.
