Need some gaskets for my JBA high flow cats - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Sorry to post this here, i need some gaskets as the stock ones will not work. I called all my local auto stores and they have none in stock. Is it okay to run the cats workout gaskets for a few days? Should i order some from JBA or are the ones from autozone okay?

When I did mine I had to use some from a different car and make the holes a little larger. I’ll try to find what gaskets I used

SynergyGreenSS · 04-19-2018, 03:30 PM

Why didn’t stock ones work?

SSEssence · 04-19-2018, 03:48 PM

I did the same, I bought some gaskets from autozone and made the holes a little bigger

SynergyGreenSS · 04-19-2018, 03:59 PM

Part number for stock ones is 92202326 if you end up trying those

DagoCountyGee · 04-19-2018, 04:21 PM

Thanks. I think ill just order some from jba but you guys think its okay to run without gaskets for a week or less?

My guess is that it’s going to leak quite a bit

They will leak without the gaskets, guaranteed. You will also very likely get a CEL. The set that comes with the JBAs are junk so I did get a set from the local parts shop and made the work. You are going to want the metal ones, not the cork set...

Take the JBA pipe, trace out the holes and outline on cardboard, then take it to autozone or o'reillys and find the closest metal gasket to match.

Thank you guys. I ended up buying gaskets with a 2.5 inch hole.... soooo just finished installing and OMG it sounds sooo much better

and no cel
