Where can I get new header gaskets for cheap?
Only place I know of to get them ships to Texas for 60 bucks. Seems kind of high for what I assume are rubber rings (never done exhaust work before). Asking because I'm going to be installing OFH soon and don't want to reuse gaskets.
Link to DIY guide would also be appreciated. Thanks |

Not sure if serious.
Use OEM gaskets, your local dealer will suffice. If they are too expensive, order online or through another dealer. Job done.

Yeah, I planned on OEM, so it was kind of a stupid question. It's probably silly but I worry about talking to the dealership about parts like that because the car is still under warranty. I thought maybe I could order online from somewhere and leave them out of it. I'll just call the dealership and if they start asking for VIN numbers I'll tell them it's for a friend... or just panic and hang up

You can use grimspeed gaskets as well. Thicker than OEM which may help with sealing up slightly uneven flanges

Yes, I'm being unreasonably paranoid. I'll just call the dealership. Sorry for the stupid question.

So I just wanted to follow up on this. It seemed like a really stupid question at first, but it turns out I was right all along. The dealership has been a PIA.
1st Call - Seemed to go well. She did immediately ask for my VIN number, but I told her I didn't have it and we proceeded. She asked me what I needed, looked it up, and told me there were 5 exhaust gaskets. I said alright put me down for 1 of each. Easy enough. 2nd Call - I'd forgotten about the order and called 2 weeks later to make sure they had it so I could come pick them up. She had no record that I had placed an order (not sure if it was the same girl) and asked if I'd gotten an order number. I told her not that I know of but I'd check my email and voice mails and call back. 3rd Call - This guy was the worst. I went through what happened and asked if he could just search one more time to see if he can find it. I was trying to just verify that there was nothing in the system before starting over, but during the process he kind of freaked out and was like "look man I'm tryin to help you but there's nothin there I'm tellin you!" and I had to wait through a long diatribe of explaining that we have to start over, when that's what i was trying to say when he cut me off to begin with... So we start the order over, and this time he INSISTS that he needs my VIN number. He also suggests that I come to the dealership, but is adamant that he can't create the account without at least the last 8 of VIN. I reluctantly agree just to get this over with, go out to my car, and the bottom half of the numbers aren't visible. So after giving him the vin through trial and error, he finally pulls up the diagram and is absolutely befuddled. "Well which one do you want?? I see this one hear goin into this pipe here.. and then that goes over to this pipe right here.. and then that goes into what I guess you're calling a "header".. and then that's got like two of these things right here." I was just like ok.. so how many are there total? "5" Ok, so order me 5 of them. That's what I asked for the last time. "Are you sure? I really think you should come in with your car so we can make sure. I'd rather you looked at the diagram." Just give me the part numbers... So.. in defense of this seemingly silly thread, this is why I just wanted someone to give me a link so I can just order them online and have them delivered to my doorstep. Exhaust Gasket Part Numbers: 44011AG000 (2) 44022AA123 (1) 44011AC030 (2) I'm just going to order them online... |

First off, do the research so you know what you actually need.
You only need 3 gaskets for the header. 2 mate between header and block, the other goes from header to over pipe. Just walk in to your dealer, go to the parts counter and tell them you need the exhaust manifold gaskets. If you say header, some people have no idea what you're taking about. You 100% do not need the vin. Don't even say it's for your own car if that helps you. I've walked into 2 different Subaru dealerships here to get the gaskets without any issues. 2 of the gaskets are the same, the 3rd is different.

I don't particularly want to drive to the other side of town twice to pay more for something I can have delivered to my doorstep without having to talk to any aggravating people. Edit: I didn't realize I hadn't mentioned the exhaust yet, my bad. Last edited by MikeM7; 03-14-2015 at 01:52 PM. |

If you do this yourself, it is easy, but time-consuming. Just be sure to start up your car while it's still on jack-stands, warm it up to normal operating temperature, shut it off, walk away and make a sandwich or something. Then when it's cooled off, loosen and re-torque the header-to-engine nuts to the proper torque, and they should give you years of trouble-free service. |

I can get all 5 for about the same price as just the OFT header gaskets from http://subaruparts.com/ Although even with the part numbers it's still a little confusing because you get 6 different results. I think they are all the same part, just labeled differently. |
