Felpro okay for new intake manifold gasket?

[ryan99z28]

I've been going to the stealership for about a month now trying to get an intake manifold gasket for my 06 Corolla. Today the guy said they haven't had any since November. He said to get one from the parts store. I see Felpro makes an intake manifold gasket. Other than it being 22 bucks instead of 10 bucks for the OEM one, you think the quality would be the same as on OEM one or should I just wait till the stealership gets them in stock... which probably won't be till summer when everyone's check engine lights stop turning on.

Order online. I have one sitting in my basement new just in case I need it.

I have used the Fel-pro gaskets with good results.

Felpro is great, but you will have to call and find out if their design is based on the old intake gasket style or the new and redesigned gasket.

I got mine through Rock and it is the new design.

Thanks for the replies. I decided I will just go with the Felpro, but even the local parts stores around here are sold out of them, but I imagine they will get them in stock before the stealership will get theirs. Does anyone happen to know if the revised Felpro gasket uses a different part number?

Rock Auto is a great website, but those fools want $8 dollars to ship a $4 dollar gasket that weighs a few ounces. They must be out of their dog gone mind. I will wait until a local parts store gets it in stock. I'm too cheap to waste money for shipping.
