Holy Sh*T!! Exhaust Gasket!
I just called Ray at Malloy Mazda, well they want 69$ for the turbo to downpipe gasket!! WTF!! He explain to me last month they were 30$ and they litteraly doubled (or more) in price. No idea why. Anyone know where I can get them any cheaper?? I know Malloy is the place for OEM but dam he doesnt even know why they jacked up the price. =/

I called a local dealership and they told me that the price for that gasket is over $100.00!!!!
best bet if you know someone at a machine shop make a bunch and save them or sell them directly to us or on ebay.

is it possible to reuse the original if i'm really careful? my cars got 33k on it... hopefully its not in too bad of condition. could you just make one of 304SS in a shop?

I think you could probably reuse it depending on the condition but mine was missing an entire piece of it =/ thus I defenetly need a new one.

don't race, don't need to
That crap is made of 4 sheets of stainless steel pressed together, with a weld that is then finished smooth on the inside to make a nice little compression sandwich. Not defending, but a bit more work went into it than crimped aluminum over paper based cake, a la Mr. Gasket... 
Still, $100 is more than I paid a while back... Must be running out of them in the US?

Which one in this picture is it? I've got a friend who does **** like this and he says it's something he could do (and sell them inexpensively). He said the guide told him choice "I" in the pic. I told him I'd gauge interest in this (probably $30 as a guess for one of his.........that's MY guess on it). I'll get more info from him. Would people be interested in that?
EDIT-- oops, here's the pic.

seems 40 bucks shipped would be a fair price?

wow, i must have taken a while to post that. marko's speaking of me. i could make solid copper, 304, 304l, 316, or 316l. solid stainless has worked out well in many applications, and i don't see why it wouldn't work out here.
