Has anybody been successful *quickly* sourcing an alternative exhaust gasket like the one from PRL below? Specifically need the front pipe to exhaust gasket. I need a quick solution as I have track days planned for next weekend.

I recently had a bolt back out on the mating flange from the PRL front pipe to the exhaust. I have a track day scheduled for next weekend, and I've been struggling to find a replacement gasket from a local auto parts store. (I have already contacted PRL in hopes of getting overnight shipping).

You can buy sheets of exhaust gasket material from Summit. The same thing happened to me except on the downpipe/frontpipe connection. It has held up for about 6 months and some hard track use so it's probably good enough for your use case as well.

I'm not sure if this is exactly what I used but it's close. Summit has quick shipping options so it might work out.

Thanks for this! I took your advice. I found a gasket with a similar dimension.

I extended the bolt holes and increased the ID to 3"

Final product was not too shabby

It fit like a glove. The material is similar to the PRL original.
