Where to buy exhaust gaskets?

[furochan]

Sorry to ask such a kinda bland question, but I havn't been able to find a place which has them on hand. The gasket in question is the one between the exhaust header and the engine block. I picked and pulled one out to replace the current (badly) cracked one, but havn't been able to find a place selling a gasket.

Needless to say, as the two places I looked were a gigantic Napa warehouse, a generic pepboys and a generic Kragan, I'm a bit on the totaly unamused side at this point.

All the online places give a price of about $10 ...and a shipping time of a week. Then there's the 'high temp' gasket maker. As it's the exhaust header, I'm not so sure that's high temp enough.

Anyhow, thanks for any help given. ^.^;

...After thinking a moment, I decided to give the napa site a poke. They don't store their exhaust gaskets, excepting the lower ones down a ways, in the 'exhaust' section. No.

The upper block to manifold gasket is under the engine gaskets. Go figure. x.x

Anyhow, when replacing the header itself, I'm guessing I should replace the top one, but how about the middle one where the 4-2 and 2-1 sections combine?

For all those hard to find parts, you can always go to the dealer. They always have stuff like that....

All swapped out. The crack in the old one ran 2/3rds of the way around one of the pipes, explaining the rather loud noises it made and the random problems I'd have. ^.^;

Also, aparently the paint I used on it was supposed to cure for a week before being subjected to high heat. ...Oops?

I just reused the lower one. By the time it becomes an issue, I hope to have saved enough to just buy a good 4-1 one instead. x.x
