Eastern Pre Cat

Hey guys, inspection time and I need several things, front bearings, tires and a catalytic converter. I need help with the cat though, I just ordered an Eastern pre catalytic converter for my P0430 code. Found some threads on this, it seem like a lot of people are using these cats without the gasket while others are using the existing gasket. I found this thread http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...problem-2.html but not sure where I would purchase the new gasket that they are talking about.

Could anyone help me with where to purchase this or any input you may have on using the existing gasket, and shaving off the 4 feet. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Purchased Parts 20840 and 20822 in this picture. (about $20 for both)


Hopefully these fit any input would help

i had nothing but issues with the eastren precat on my old 03.i had went thru 4 different cats before i got one that would line up and seal correctly.make sure when you get it that it comes with the gasket because i dont believe the oe one fits correctly.

It's my understanding that the Eastern doesn't come with the gasket in question.
