BHR midpipe exhaust leak, where can I get these type of gaskets?

hello
I have a BHR midpipe with ceramic catalytic converter
doesn't seem to fit great because the crushable O gasket in the front seems to just disappear inside the pipe
I can smell exhaust in the cabin and I can hear and feel the leak

so I was wondering who still sells gaskets like these?
would they work better to seal?

I would just buy a set of all new factory gaskets Bhr mid pipe just uses factory flanges. Purchase gaskets from Atkins rotary or racing beat many places sell the individual gaskets or as a set.

thanks for the reply I actually have racing beat gaskets on the car right now and it is an audible exhaust leak
the two triangle flanges are metal on metal and the gasket is not sealing
is it possible I installed the gasket wrong? you just put it in the middle and tighten it down so it crushes, right?

Yeah that would be correct they are metal crush gaskets. There should be 4 gaskets total the 3 bolt rotor looking gasket the two bolt gasket and like the donut that goes inside the pipe at that flange. Do you have that donut? But I would just still get all new gaskets and just try again to get them to seal or see if you can find out where the leak is coming and just replace the gasket at the leak. Also is the o2 sensor seated fully there is a crush washer on that as well.

got the new gasket in and it is working great, no more problems
the BHR catalytic converter seems to be working good also
these gaskets are very similar to the ones I used to use in my Rx7

Those are Remflex gaskets, BTW. Not really much/any cheaper to buy direct from Remflex since you'll end up with two of each, but it's an option
