Yea, 13 sounds about right. I think I actually paid around $16 for mine (highway robbery for little bits of metal. The ring gasket, the one that goes between the muffler and the midpipe, can't be reused because it is built to melt to provide a tighter seal kinda like welding.

Yea, I remember the metal crush ring to be about $15 at the Infiniti Dealer, $10 at the Nissan Dealer.

You can get the same things at Kragens, Pep Boys, or Auto Zone for a few bucks each. IMO, buying these from the dealer is like buying bolts or oil, etc... from them - these aren't car specific parts so you aren't getting anything special, but you're paying a lot more for them.

You guys are talking about these gaskets, right?





If so, these are universal parts. All you need is the size of the piping and bolt configuration. If you want to get fancy, you can choose the material too.

O you want the flat gasket, not the crush ring, I'm not sure how much I paid. We have the same gaskets as the 350z...
