anyone know where i can get a 3 hole, triangular gasket that will work with the rear of the cat? ive been to a few auto stores and theres nothing really similar. i thought of making my own, but the store i went to doesnt have high temp gasket material. anyone else tried to make their own gasket?

i know the stock one has a copper crush "o-ring", but i need something that covers the whole surface area, i wanna get rid of a rattle, and leak. and the copper o ring isnt reusable.

 

If you cant find any high temp material to make it out of use cardboard. I know someone who alway made exhaust gaskets out of it so it will prolly work.

 

cadboard? exhaust gets fawking hot man and I really doubt it would make a descent seal

 

All Im saying is I've seen it done and it sounded fine. For how long I dont know.

 

yeah um, im not thinking of using cardboard, or any paper/wood product.

 

What about a Honda Dealer! Try there first.

 

like i said, OEM gasket is not sufficient for me. so im not interested in something from HONDA.

 

High temp gasket material and some high temp gasket silicone?

 

thanks, so tell me where to get it. ive already looked. do you ppl not read my original post?

 

I had to get one for my car as well. I needed one to make a straight pipe so i could swap the cat on to my car for emissions checks, then put the straight pipe back on after. I went to a muffler shop and they sold me one for cheap. Or you could always go to a wrecker and see about cutting one off a dead car. I don't know how you're planning to attach it though. I do all the welding myself so i had no problems but you might if you're planning to use clamps.

 

are you talking about the flange or the gasket? i need a gasket.

 

Any muffler shop should stock them, or something VERY close to it. Just make sure u have the cat off the car or a template of somekind so they can match up their gaskets with your flange. Last time i was at my friends muffler shop i bought like 5 of them for back up. The ones i got are kinda like a metal material so they are reusable for a few times, at least i have reused them and they didnt leak. They were like 2$ each.

 

hmm.. a muffler shop would have been a good place to look. doh! thanks.
