Default Local place for exhaust gaskets?

Where can I go to get a new exhaust gasket? I need either a 3" or 2.5" universal 2-bolt gasket, with the holes 180 degrees apart.

good luck, I tried finding a 3" flange locally and came up empty after calling every store listed in the phonebook.

I would think places that do custom exhaust work would have a way to make gaskets... but I really don't know. Call around.

I just need a gasket, not a new flange.

Default gasket

I may sell something over at pep boys, however I have a feeling that most of our flange gaskets are a max of 2.5. I'll check.

this doesnt answer your question but i went by muffler king way down jefferson to get an exhaust gasket between my test pipe and my exhaust system and the guy lifted my car up on the lift then tried to say he wouldnt put it back down and was going to have a cop fine me for not having a cat haha. i almost got in a fight with a 50 year old fat-man at muffler king in the middle of the day. deefffinitely dont go there if your car is modded.
