EXHAUST GASKETS
 

What I have is a CP-E downpipe that meets a mazdaspeed cat-back. What I need is the doughnut gasket that goes between the downpipe and cat back and the flat gasket that goes on the cat back after the muffler. Anyone know where to find these simple parts Advance Autozone etc etc don't have them. The local Mazda dealer isn't a speed dealer so they said they can't get speed parts for my exhaust because its a 'mazdaspeed' exhaust. Help, Please. Where can I find this stuff???....



PS
ha yes my exhaust leaks haha in 2 spots!

I think streetunit sells the donut gasket.
OEM Exhaust Gasket: MS3

Protege garage sells it with the DP gasket.
Mazda3Online :: ProtegeGarage :: MazdaRX8Online - Your Source for Mazda Performance

Corksport sells their donut gaskets for $5, but I'm not sure if they will fit the CP-E downpipe or not.

CorkSport Mazda Performance - 360.260.CORK: MS3 Engine

i looked at the street unit donut and it was 45 bucks! and didnt even have to other one i needed so ill check the protege and corksport site and see what the have

I sent cpe an email about it and they said it is a ball and socket type of joint. You dont need the gasket in there as stated by cpe.

What does this have to do with his exhaust leak?

From what I understand, the OP says he is missing a donut gasket and the gasket after the catback before the muffler. 2 gaskets. That's why he thinks he is leaking in two places.

The guy you quoted claims that CPE says you dont need a donut gasket. I'm not sure what you are confused about.

I got the donut gasket off street unit, its a bit pricey I think and haven't installed it yet so I'm not 100% sure that it will even fit so we will see. Street unit couldn't help me out with the second one but its a real small leak so I'm not terribly worried about it at the moment maybe when its due for another inspection but thats not for sometime now.

The fact that the OP was trying to put a donut gasket where it doesn't belong. You Sir, Fail.
