Exhaust gaskets...

I have a exhaust leak on both sides of my cat and wanted to know if mazda is the only place I can get these gaskets. Could I just go to a auto parts shop and get a generic one or is the RX-8 the only cars that uses these style gaskets? If not how much do they usually run from the dealer?

Thanks

Just call your local auto parts stores. Maybe try www.mazdatrix.com or www.racingbeat.com (these will probably be OEM products). I'm sure Mazda will charge you way too much.

you won't save much on those

the front gasket is a collapsing type, it is not reuseable, must be replaced anytime the cat pipe is separated from the manifold
