Hey guys....I called mazda and they're quoting me 100 bucks a pop for one Exhaust manifold Gasket....and I need 2 of them!!! anyone know of a place I can get both for cheaper? aftermarket or oem... Thanks

 

I think if you get like a gasket set, it includes some other gasket + 2 manifold gasket for $105. This was back in 2006 when I did this but research it and ask Roy at Malloy.

 

Aaron,

Call Ray at Malloy Mazda 888.833.3400. He is an RX-7 owner that gives great prices to RX-7 club members. He ships two-day air via FEDEX for $10 also. He is located in Virginia, so he is gone for the day...

Good luck.

 

oh DAMN I meant Ray. Long days at work don't help.

 

For sure.......Will do. Called earlier today but he was gone. I'll call him tomorrow. Thanks guys!

 

They are expensive. Pineapple also sells those gaskets made of different materials at a slightly cheaper price. I never tried them but some people run them.

 

I use a Remaflex gasket, have for 2+ yrs with no problems.

 

the pineapple gaskests are what i run... they're carbon or something.

 

Pineapple racing it is...haha. Theyre way cheaper than the OEM ones. Grimple how much power are you making? They say on the site they're graphite... i'm gonna check on the ramaflex gaskets too

RYAN how much power are you making? thanks!

 

I am running a REMFLEX... have been for a while. At 1 BAR (390RWHP)... no problems. I just pulled my engine for a re-fresh and the gasket held up great after looking at it.

 

435 on a superflow

 

Yeah i got mine from Mazdatrix they were 115$ I needed them in a hurry and they are close enough that they show up next day.

 

I called Mazdatrix and the guy quoted me 115 each.... Needless to say I decided to hang up in a hurry haha. Called ray....the best he could do was 100 bucks a pop...meaning 200 for two of the stock gaskets. I ended up ordering two from Pineapple Racing for $70 out the door. They're graphite....and he said he'd put a rush on the shipping...

 

Ryan.....whats your setup? I'm at 463... and changing my entire exhaust to a custom set-up from a megan racing header, rx7store dp, Ichiba Mid and Espelir exhaust...all 3 in. My New set-up will be fully custom fabbed but i'll have a 3 1/2 in bullett as a resonator where my mid pipe would be and a magnaflow 3in inlet w/dual 2 1/2 in outlets. Trying to keep the noise down without sacrificing too much power... My fabricator swears his header will spool 500-800rpm faster than the megan racing header.... we'll see though haha.

 

Gotham LARGE street port, t3 35r 1.06 aspec kit, water injection, magnaflow welded in the mid pipe, hks carbon ti catback with the silencer usually in.

 

I got both exhaust manifold gaskets, engine and turbo, from remflex for under $50 shipped. I got them on the suggestion of another member to help with an issue of warped flanges. I haven't been running them long but until I get the flanges fixed they are perfect.

 

Thats sweet man.... how do you like that 35r? i've only heard good things about them. I'm running a gt40r...when it comes on it's on but as of the old header i'm spoolin around 4300...which is something i'd definitely like to bring down....

 

It's fun on the street, but I wish it had more in the upper rpm range. I'm thinking about building a new manifold and going to a bigger turbo to make more hp and unchoke the exhaust.

 

thats cool man... check out my new header vs my old megan racing.
