looks like a down pipe gasket off of a fouriegn car. Local parts store is a good place to start.

You are a lucky man......

Without seeing the headers I'm taking a guess and I think you might have a set of SLP Tri-y headers.



I could be wrong but it sure looks like the same gasket. SLP was the only ones that I know of that made those headers, as far as I know, you can't even get those gaskets anymore. You might be able to contact SLP http://www.slponline.com/main.asp and ask them if they have any hidden in some dusty box some place but its doubtful. You might be looking at making your own custom gaskets at this point.

Good luck in your search!

Exactly what I was going to say. The SLP Try-Wye header gasket.

Got a little information for ya.....



It appears the only one making this gasket is ROL and the P/N your looking for is EG24544. I checked the ROL website, http://www.rolmfg.com/gasket.htm and did a search for the gasket and it still shows up in their catalog. Even showed a few interchangable gaskets if I read it right. Put the part number in this form : http://www.rolmanufacturing.com/eCat...hange_Form.asp


Another avenue is you could check on Ebay and see if any of the vendors who deal in gaskets offer the abilty to locate any gasket.

Hope that helps on your adventure......

Those are unusual headers! I wouldn't go through the hassle of trying to find the perfect SLP replacement though...I mean, you have an old one, and it doesn't look as if it has sealing rings or anything built in it so just get some gasket material and cut out a few new ones.

Most parts stores have sheets of different materials, some that will easily hold up to the exhaust heat. (Like Garlock) - Just MO..

The guy I bought it from said they were SLP headers but I took that with a grain of salt, guess he was right lol. Well my dad ordered a hole saw kit so I'll have it cut out tonight and on the road tomorrow to get an alignment hopefully.... I've been out of the car for 2 weeks almost and its killing me..... So why are the slp headers so great?

Re: Halp! Any Idea what kind of header collector gasket this is? And where can I get

I'm looking for this exact gasket aswell. I tried searching on the ROL site and ended up with a gasket for a SAAB. Does anyone know any other place that gets these? maybe GM directly? I've made my own gaskets out of the material from the local parts store and they seem to just blow out after a few hundred kilometers. so if i can get a set of proper gaskets with the metal inserts that would be perfect.
