I need the gasket between the y-pipe and cat because mine never sealed right when I installed my Budget. No area stores carry them and it would be at least 3 days for them to order one. Is there any site online that sells them for less than $12? I'm also gonna go ahead and wrap the pipe while I'm working on it since I have a feeling that the pipe itself is creating alot of extra noise. Where can I get some (eBay?), and do I wrap over the flex section too or not? Thanks.

I bought my header wrap on Ebay for $28 dollars, it was 50 feet of it. I wrapped my pipe from just below the O2 sensors all the way back to the cat (did not wrap the cat just up to were the pipe and cat meet, did wrap the flex section). I would have wrapped from the top of the pipe but to wrap it from there would of been a pain. I am very happy with the wrap, it took care of the bees in the can/criquets/ VW Beetle sound. It made a significant dent on the annoying noises. If you have the pipe off the car then it should be pretty easy to wrap the whole thing. Good luck .

Sounds good. What about the gasket tho?

Anyone have a part number for the gasket? I looked on online parts stores and all I could find was a flange gasket. Is this what I need?

I do not know the part # but your local dealer would probably have it, should not be expensive at all. You can also go to www.courtesyparts.com (search for "maxima exhaust gaskets")or call them for the part at 1-800-527-1909 , they are very helpful. I have dealt with them many times. Good luck.
