Need help finding exhaust gasket

whats good? can someone help me locate an exhaust gasket to purchase? i had to remove my exhaust to swap out the alternator, and in doing so, i figured i should replace the exhaust gasket. also, the bolts to the flange (with the 3 bolts) are all oxidized and rusted out. i need to replace all those with stainless as well. any help would be great. thank you in advanced.





this is what im looking for:



will this work?

Sometimes, in area like those, I just use high temperature RTV sealant.

how was there a 2 bolt gasket in a 3 bolt flange?

But most parts stores will carry these standard gaskets in 2 and 3 bolt patterns in different exhaust diameters. Its a pretty universal part. You just need to measure the inside diameter

Yes, along with O'Riellys, NAPA, Advance, PepBoys and they carry suitable bolts too.

My search turns up the same thing. The O'Reilly's in my town has a variety of them in different diameters on the shelf.
I can't believe you're having a hard time finding these since they are so common.
I would suggest ordering them on line.
Contact Gary, ToyotaPartsMan. He's very cool and helpfull.

Seriously, after 2 months, you still can't find the gaskets?
Just use the high temperature RTV as I said.

Midas, and similar exhaust shops, might have this gasket.

if not, then hop on google and search for it. or try www.Tworus.com and see if they have it OR can get it.

Those really shouldn't be that hard to find. I got mine at O'reilys a few months ago. It's just an exhaust collector gasket, most parts stores or muffler shops should carry them. Or try the dearlership?
