Exhausting gasket search
What gaskets do you guys use/recommend when installing an over the axle exhaust? I'm talking about the two bolt-hole muffler/flange to pipe connection. Parts houses are pushing the WLK-31537 (Walker) and is supposed to fit, but its a smaller inside diameter than the actual pipe size...I want no restriction. Genuine GM gaskets are $30+ something...aftermarket "Corvette suppliers" are in the $25 +/- range and Amazon/Ebay are priced from little to nothing to what's in your wallet? As a matter of principle I refuse to pay high dollar for these two simple exhaust gaskets...on the other hand I want them to not leak for a few thousand miles.

Yes, as LWSZ06 provided the link. Use those.
I put those exact gaskets on my Z06 after I did a "X" pipe addition. No worries and no leaks. Remember to torque them evenly (I seem to remember 30lbs ??) so as to not get leaks. Also use a floor jack, a board and a level to get your tips straight or (if you are like me) you will loose your mind seeing alignment problems.

Yes, I agree on the alignment...more than once, in the past, on other vehicles, I've had to straighten things by force to get the right "look".
