just got back from burson auto... inlet $7.60 and spigot bearing $3.50 but they have no exhaust gaskets, told them the price of genuine parts (exhaust gaskets) and they reakon maybe they should selling them, at half the price of genuine they would make heaps!

When and if you get a set of exhaust gaskets, make sure the hole that the exhaust passes through is a ring that is press fitted onto the gasket - this stops the exhaust gases pushing through the gasket.
I'm currently using hi temp silicone for my exhaust gaskets. Its working a treat and is best not to hit rocks/tree roots while 4wd'n, otherwise it doesn't last long.

Where do you get them? Are they any better than the pressed aluminium/cardboard ones?
