yes there is...
You are correct the autoparts shop don't list it... GM does $10 a piece.
I spent some tinme at an autozone and found a manual match... which I posted about a month ago.. I'll go look for that post and link it to this thread

Careful guys. I went to an auto parts store today to buy a pair of these gaskets. Checker Auto only had the one marked with the part # 85076. I don't know who made this gasket that they had. It was similar but not the same as an old one I brought with me. It's inside dia. was 1/16th" to maybe 3/32nd's smaller than my old one. Also the bolt holes were much larger which could allow the gasket to slide off center easy when installing.
This may have been an isolated case. Bring an old one with you to be certain you have the right size.
I went right down to a GM dealer right afterward.I paid the Corvette tax and bought two of these gaskets for 9.60 each.
Hats off to rws.1 for doing lots of research for all of us. Just use a little caution when buying these.

It seems that each dealer in OKC only had one when I put my new catback on so I had to go to 2 different ones. The bizarre thing was that I paid $7.15 at one and 12.15 at another one.

so the first dealer saw you coming
I question ridiculous prices and SOMETIMES that makes a BIG difference. Especially if you have some competition.

I showed the second dealer my invoice from the other dealer and the guy said " We aren't allowed to discount parts for anyone". I sai Discount, you're just way higher than them,! He didn't care.
