Exhaust Gasket....Quick Question!

I've got a Magnaflow Exhaust coming for my C5 and should be here by thursday. I bought it used so I'm needing a set of exhaust flange gaskets to go on the over axel pipes. Where is the best place to get these? Would a chevrolet place have them? I'd like to get them here before thursday so I will have everything for the install. Thanks for your help!

Derek

Yeah your local dealership or autoparts store should have them

How much should something like this cost at a chevrolet place? I live in a small town so we don't have auto zones but we do have a chevrolet place

It all depends on your dealer and how much they like to mark up their parts. Ten dollars each would not surprise me ?

Ok I might try a auto parts store. Should I tell them to look up my car or is there a specific size I can go by?

Thanks,
Derek

Permatex copper silicone will work in a pinch.
I've used it instead of header gaskets before w/o any problems.

BadYellowCorvette,

I have a brand new set of the exhaust flange gaskets that you're looking for. You can have them if you want; No charge. Just PM me your address and I'll put them into the mail to you tomorrow.
