My installer had bomb proof and oem , I bought both incase I had to swap back. They installed oem. Told me they were Subaru " guy" gaskets and they leak. I had a Subaru with what appeared to be same type gaskets ,never took it a part . But they did leak. Previous owner just permatex it up. I bought my dp's used he gave bp gaskets he ran. A low milage set gaskets were toast. I'd go oem. But if you really want bp gaskets I may have a pair brand new I gotta dig them up. Pm me Monday I'll see. I'll sell them to you .

Just as an alternative, Autozone carries metal exhaust gaskets that exactly match, including the slightly larger than stock ID. They are less than $2 each.

OP, I think everyone is pretty much selling them for the same price, give or take a few cents but all that really matters which is the closest to you. Shipping costs should be the make or break for you. But then again, shipping costs should be dirt cheap for these things regardless.

I got mine from HPAutoworks in Santa Barbara, CA and I live in so cal so the shipping was dirt cheap. But for what it's worth I think their prices were a couple bucks cheaper than AR's listed. Just fyi.

I'm pretty sure they only sell the gaskets with the dp's and not separately, I already contacted him about it

Keep in mind, AR is from Colorado, so if you are out of state no sales tax. Works out well for California residents, since most veondors are in So Cal. I noticed you are from TX, so this shouldn't be an issue. Just get um from AR, they ship very fast too.

Actually all vendors should be selling them at the exact same price.

So in essence it wouldn't matter who you go to.
