Exhaust Gasket Question

frodrummer · 06-03-2013, 07:44 AM

I am in need of a new exhaust gasket (pipe to muffler) and was wondering if anyone has found a gasket in any auto parts stores that would work? Ive got just about all of the big name parts stores within 30 mins of my house. Without going into a long winded explanation, I cannot wait for 1+ week on shipping from online ordering. Ive got a camping excursion tomorrow night.

Ive been busy at work (which is where I'm at now....sshh) and haven't made it to the parts store to ask about a comperable gasket. Just hoping to narrow down the possible locations that might have one.

All else fails, Im probably gonna have to goop on a bunch of sealant.... which I don't want to do.

I just went to the parts store and took the old gasket with me. We found an egr gasket from a Chevy that was close enough that all I had to do was a little modifications to it and it works great. Plus its over twice as thick as original so I feel it also seals better as well.

Also a small engine repair shop will have one or maybe tractor supply or rural king in there small engine dept.
