Yea if you go to a parts store like autozone or advanced they'll have the right gasket, it's a downpipe gasket and as long as it's stock it will fit.

The cheapest way would just be to get a cereal box, cut out the shape you need with an exacto knife or something and it will work fine for awhile.

LOL. A cereal box? Touching the engine?

Maybe for a day or so

Assuming the original gaskets (there are two) are intact, you shouldn't have to buy replacements. They look like two rings, and they should be almost flush with the header flange.

What happened to the ones already on the header? The only one you should need is the soft donut that goes on the collector.

unless the donut one isn't rotten/falling apart you can reuse it. i'd suggest getting a new one for the part that touches the head though... like the others said, autozone.

Can you post some photos of the stock header flange? You shouldn't have to change or replace the gaskets because they usually are not removed or damaged during installation. The only gasket you should need to replace is the soft graphite donut at the collector. You won't be reusing anything from the DC header except the metal gasket at the head.

LoL not touching the engine/block. On the downpipe. I spent 45 minutes arguing with the guys at advance about whether or not the gasket they wanted to give me would fit on my downpipe, and then just gave up and went with the old stand-by until I could find another parts store that would sell me what I needed.

I dont remember exactly, but together with head gasket and intake gasket it cost me less that $100 I believe...
If you by any chance go Corona, then Corona Honda will be alot cheaper than Hardin honda for parts... But dont drive there just for the gasket, you will spend more money on gas.......
