Default Flange Gasket

Can any body tell me the part I need for my disco basically this is what I need. Atleast I think, Im not to good with cars but i have to two catalytic converters that look like this >= and then they become one into the exhaust pipe? I need the flange gasket that goes where there is just a solo connection. I can find this- http://www.speedycarparts.com/sku/La...494_0400003733 but what I need is just a solo one of those with just one. I am so bad with cars but I try my best to learn. I'll attach a picture of what I need. If anyone could tell me what part that is that I need or send a link where to buy it from it would be much appreciated.

The one on my car now is warn and rattles and clunks when ever you hit a bump.

Take it to a muffler shop and they can replace that gasket for you for a few bucks.
Otherwise AutoZone will have that part, its just a exhaust gasket, a exhaust gasket is a exhaust gasket is a exgaust gasket.
Get the right size and youll be good to go.

yeah I agree with taking it to a shop. Find a good bubba shop. The less teeth the guy has, the cheaper it will be. I stopped in a small town in Kansas and the guy charged me $3.17 to replace 2 of them on my Volvo. I gave him a ten and drove away in a quiet car

Okay thanks, we were going to do it ourselves but if its that cheap why not. However, the bolts on mine seems to be rusted on there EXTREMELY tight, like they have never been changed, we have tried to take them off without luck. If I bring it to the shop the guy is going to loose his mind trying to loosin those bolts. Any suggestions?

that is why I said to take it to a muffler shop. You will mess with it for hours and they will pop them right off. It is what they do....

Just got an estimate over the phone of "atleast $100 for it, maybe more". It sometimes sucks when your the only one in your whole town with a Land Rover so the moment you mention its a land rover they all panic and go "Thats not a common vehicle its probably going to be a lot more to fix as I don't even no if I have the parts for that sort of thing."


Update - Midas can't do it either as they have no aftermarket parts what so ever for a land rover.
hmm who to call next lol

Tell them you just need an exhaust olive. It isn't a flange gasket. They will quote a flange gasket high because they are kinda high. Stop by a shop sometime when you are out and have them quote it.
