Help! B&B Exhaust install
I'm slapping a set of used B&B Bullets on my C5 and ran into a couple small problems.
1. Forgot about needing the gaskets from both the X-pipe to the muffler pipe (2 1/2 inch) and from the muffler pipe to the rear exhaust pipe (3 inch). I called about every auto parts store around and none of them can even order the parts. Recommendations on where to order them from besides a GM dealer? I've heard the gaskets from B&B are trash so feel free to chime in on that also.
2. The hangers on the Bullets seem to be extremely loose when fitting into the rubber exhaust hangers. Best way to fix this issue?
Thanks for the help/suggestions all!

Do you mean the clamps? to clamp down the tip pipes to the over-axle bullets? B&B has those and they work great IMO...
If you have the 1st generation bullets then you have the weak hangers
B&B recently produces them with DOUBLE THE THICKNESS so they dont bend....try doing a search here and you will see pics of what I mean

I'm referring to the rubber fixture that the exhaust hangers slip into. They are intact but the fit is extremely loose. See link for part I am speaking about... http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb....ort~1~cadefibQ
I took care of the weak hangers problem already and managed to find the gaskets (small miracle). A guy at a local corvette shop gave me 4 of them free of charge

Gaskets
I had the same problem this week installing my Ti's
Try using a FePro #60496-1
These are the flange gaskets to install the stock axle back pipes, should work with others if they have flanges.
None of the auto parts stores could find a listing in stock, but they could cross reference and find these easily.
