Where to order exhaust gaskets.
I'm doing some exhaust work so I whipped out my charge card and went to Mazdatrix site to order since I ordered parts from them in the past.
The billing page credit card paragraph was enough for me to look for another place to get parts from.
Where are people ordering parts from these days?

just go to your local parts shop and get them from there. i wouldn't say it's necessary to get an oem gasket, as no one would realistically be able to tell.

Buy them from mazda.
Besides, the ones from the parts stores that are listed as correct fitment, are not. The bolt holes do not line up.

i understand but the OEM turbo gaskets are fully reusable and will last 10+ years unless used on warped/cracked manifolds. i have yet to see anything come even remotely close as to their reliability level. it's like replacing a clutch with a used clutch, yanking the turbo usually isn't a very simple 10 minute job.

This is 100% correct. I went and did the "parts store" gaskets and wasted 20 bills on 4 gaskets. Within a week they were blown out again...
