3" exhaust gaskets

I have taken my CES exhaust off and on a few times and I just noticed last night that my exhaust flange gasket was missing a chunk at the "test" pipe. I hit up the local parts shops and they can only order stuff by make and model of the car. Does anyone have a site they could reccomend for these things? I've emailed CES and am waiting for a response from them.
Thanks,
Mike

Most NAPA and Carquest stores, among others, have gasket "picture guides" with life-size illustrations of all of their exhaust flange gaskets. Their exhaust catalogs also have size listings for the gaskets too. Hopefully there's more than one parts store near you, since the one you mentioned sounds less than helpful. Just adding another option...

Yeah....napa & carquest tend to be staffed by people that know a little more than.....oh I don't know.....what year and model...the computer has to tell me.

If you can't find one local you can always take some cardboard and cut it to shape. As long as you tighten it up tight where it won't leak the cardboard won't burn. If the exhaust leaks then the cardboard will be toast.

Thats strange. I definately tooled around for a while to no avail. At any rate I was able to find something close at some place locally called "pipe dreams" and trim it to fit.
Thanks again.

I thought I posted this before but it was a busy time and I may just remember intending to....
I found a gasket from NAPA that fits (with very minor trimming of the tabs)
Part # 521843-001
Barcode # 0 62573 22442 9
going to buy some again right now...

Mike,
Did you end up getting any of the gaskets above, or did you the ones Andrew got from NAPA?

I just ended up buying the Grimmspeed 12 layer gasket, a bit spendy. But I wanted something I know wouldn't leak between myt DP and MP
