The gasket that joins the bracket between the end of the Manifold and the beging of the exhaust system or cat depending on layout.
Main dealer for gaskets I always recommend, Manifold gasket is under £3 or £4 I remember correctly, not sure about the next one.

I left my old gasket on mate! They are metal and dont seem to wear away all that much! I have left mine on anyway and it's fine!

just got a new one from the main dealer. Get it back home and notice that the holes arent the same as the raceland manifold, they are a little out compared to the manifold. Is this normal??

Also buy new studs and bolts, will set you back about £4. Re-using the old ones is almost impossible
