I have a tanabe cat-back exhaust and there are 3 gaskets in the system that were all broken and blowing heavily. Whats a good source for gaskets for aftermarket exhaust.

I need the 'triangle' 3 bolt hole gasket between the cat and the exhaust. A ~60mm gasket with 2 bolt holes and 2 ~40mm gaskets with 2 bolt holes.

Any pointers appreciated.


Thanks,
Matt

can you not just leave out the gaskets and use an exhaust paste to seal the joints? if there are no gaskets there they can't blow out

I agree with Bozwell I was on the look out for one for my decat, I just used paste 6 month ago and it's still fine no blowing - let it set correctly. According to some folk on here it would of failed by now

If you clout the pipe then it probably will fall out

Get exhaust some gasket sheet from eBay.
Lay over flange and knock around edges and holes with ball pein hammer.
Or draw around and cut/punch out.
Smear a little copper grease for re-usability and bolt up.

Exactly what I did, other than I got the material from work.

Easy and cheap.

gaskets are ok in a road car but in a competition car i wouldn't bother. if the exhaust flanges are nice and flat they will pretty much seal themselves anyway.

if they are not flat that is why the gaskets blow out.

I tried a repair with paste and it failed. I'll give it a go with just paste and see what happens. Otherwise I'll give the gasket material a whirl.

I did find this which looks good except for the prices - http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/Product-14.aspx
