After market exhaust gaskets

Post by KingJeff801 »

For after market pipes I have seen people say they are using VW gaskets, where is a good site to get these from?

Thanks,

You can probably just get it at a local auto parts store. :wink:

Your local auto parts store will more than likely have them in stock. What is this fetish for buying everything online?

95% of the time, anything you can find in a store you can find cheaper online!

Now that is most definitely an Urban Myth. If you fine the item in a store, the online part, once you add shipping in, if you save anything at all, you are lucky at best.

I agree with Bear on the small stuff. Once shipping is accounted for you've spent more money than your local places would charge.
However, you seem to have a better chance of saving a little cash on the bigger ticket items online vs. local

If I'm in no rush, the item I buy online can go right to my door cheaper than driving to go get it and delivered right to my door, cheaper....no brainier, I do it online.

I do all my Christmas shopping online. Cheaper, no lines, no parking, no crowds and delivered right to my home


Winning!
