Hey guys, I tried searching (not working) and checking my service manuals but I wasn't able to find the part number for a DP to cat gasket. I just need the mazda part number for the regular 3" one. Thanks a lot in advance if you have any idea. -Joe (ps - I know rx7store has them cheap but I need it pretty fast and I figured mazda would do)

 

if u need a quick solution now...i think they have some thatll work at places like kragen and AutoZone

 

yeah that's my last resort. I'm in Canada and I figure by the time rx7store ships it, it'll be a while (plus the expense of a $7 part being shipped here). If I get it from the local mazda dealership they usually get parts within a few days and there aren't any shipping charges.

 

Not sure the part number, but Rotary Performance usually has them:

thanks Mahjik, but same thing...just comes down to time and cost of shipping. I don't mind paying a bit extra if it can be shipped fast...but would prefer local pick-up. Anyone else have any idea for the part number?

 

Call Rotary Performance and see how long it would take for them to ship one as well as cost.

 

Just go to www.iluvmyrx7.com and download the parts diagram. It is PDF format. Or the mazdatrix site: http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.as...m=13-491A-N3B7

That's from the turbos to the downpipe. He's looking for the dp to main cat/midpipe gasket:

thanks Mahjik maybe I'll see how long it takes to ship one out. I didn't have time to call the dealership today but I'll try them first tomorrow and go from there.

 

ok new news - I found out the part number for the gasket. It's part number 40-305 & 40-305A...but apparently it lists it as made out of asbestos? I thought most gaskets were made out of metal and I've been touching the old gasket, in fact it's in my kitchen (not anymore though). I'd rather have a gasket made out of metal. Anyhow I have another question now - do you guys know the part numbers for the studs and bolts for the DP to turbo assembly? I'm thinking the bolts are part# 40-355B...I can't find the number for the studs though. Any help?

 

wow that was easy enough - found the number for the studs too for anyone wondering in the future. The part# is 13-5071 / NF01-13-708A (for 5).

 

call ray crowe at malloy mazda - gives good prices for those on the rx7club website

 

Here's the follow-up on how things went for the downpipe install. Also, I found a good exhaust gasket at a nearby exhaust shop the next day so it all worked out well.
