The dealer sells the proper gaskets. There are only 2 sizes - one for the mufflers, and one for all the other connections. They're about $8/each at the dealer. Also, you could go to the local muffler shop and buy them.

I dont think regular gasket material will hold up to the heat of the exhaust.
Racingbeat sells gaskets, but they are usually only for the RB system. You can try a local parts store (i.e. NAPA, AutoZone, etc.). They have a book and can usually match something up. Of course if its a RB system you will have to order it from them.

I called up Mazda and they could order a turbo gasket for 18$ and it would take a damn week! So I said **** it and called up carquest. thay said that they have a chart of exhaust gaskets and I could bring exhaust in to line it up. Its a regional distributer so the guys working arn't dumb ***** and they have a very large inventory so...............I'll try that I guess.
