Replacing Exhaust Gaskets - Part Numbers?

I'm going to install a Greddy SP2 catback. I want to replace the gaskets fore and aft of the cat but I can't make sense of the parts that come up when you search for "exhaust gaskets" on the Courtesy Parts website. One that they show for behind the cat on a 4th gen looks round. I was thinking these gaskets were the shape of the pipe end: round with two tabs on the sides.

Anyone know the part numbers that I want? And does anyone know if the SP2 comes with a new gasket to interface with the cat?

Lastly, I'm looking for the part number for the stock exhaust mounts (the 3 rubber hanger pieces for the muffler). Courtesy sells NISMO hangers but they're $15 each: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...Category_Code=

Thanks. Wow, that's a HUGE image. Anyway, those part numbers seem to be 5 to 7 characters long but proper Nissan part numbers are 10 characters. That's really weird....

I had to make it large or else you wouldn't be able to see the numbers. The first five #'s are the beginning of the part #. I'm not sure how to tell the last five. You should be able to tell if it's the right part from the diagram though.

Well here's the problem. I'm trying to find the full part number for these parts and I can't find it just by searching online Nissan parts sites for "exhaust gasket". So half the part number doesn't help. I guess I just need to call up DAVE B or my local dealer. It's silly you can't find this stuff online, though. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Actually it does help me quite a bit. Courtesy does list the complete part numbers for gaskets and that's what I was talking about in the initial post. I am dumb. Thanks!

Tom, why didn't you ask me? I have two extra hangers and one extra gasket. When we're installing it we can run over to exhaust pros for another gasket. Although, I wouldn't be suprised if the new catback came with them. Greddy does things right ya know. Also, I don't think the gasket between the y and cat will be dead anyway. Its only what 4K old?

And good god, please unpost that pic and link it.

Thank Bro, I forget to ask you. I have all three of the muffler hangers and they look fine but I was thinking of playing it safe and getting new ones. Not sure that's really worth it since they're only 6 years old, but rubber wears out fast esp in cold weather. The less vibration the better.

I'm pretty sure we just reused my existing gasket between Y and cat when we installed my Y-pipe...do you recall otherwise?

The exhaust gasket you have looks like this? http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...Category_Code=

The hangers are good unless they're ripped.

My budget came with a new two bolt gasket.

That Courtesy gasket looks extremely thin and worthless. The one I have has a metal liner but has papery type stuff(Asbestos?) to give it thickness and allow it to eliminate any possible leaks. Don't bother ordering that thing. This type has worked fine for me for two years.
