Question Gaskets for Exhaust

Recently I've been getting a weird metal rattling sound at around 3k rpm, the exhaust seems fine and everything seems solid, but I figured since I've had the exhaust for nearly 2 years (maybe longer can't remember) it's probably about time to change all the gaskets.

I've tried to search Invidia's website but I can't seem to access it, I wanted to know does anyone sell a replacement gasket kit for the Invidia Gemini?

or does anyone know where I can buy some good quality exhausts from other suppliers? I'm guessing any 60mm dia gaskets would do correct?

Double Bump....

Can anyone shed some light if I can simply replace my Invidia gaskets with the OEM gaskets?

Invidia Dia = 60mm
OEM Dia = 63.5mm

Which gaskets u need exactly ?! FYI .. No OEM gaskets are installed between the cats/headers manifolds ( those with 3bolts i mean ). as for the catback .. yes the factory do use them in between ( those with 2 bolts ). if u're referring to the catback gaskets then you can use a tube of a High Temp Red RTV silicone without gaskets with no issues or what so ever.

Yes the main gaskets I want to change are for the cat-back system, I would prefer to use gaskets instead of the High Temp Red RTV Silicone, because that would involve having to dismantle the exhaust and I don't have any places to do that.

With gaskets I'd be able to easily take out the old ones and replace them with the new ones.

The question is can I use the OEM gaskets on my Invidia Exhaust?

^ yes you can use them. flanges are always identical to OEM spec no matter what size your after market pipes are.
