    I have checked online and thought that the Grimmspeed 3" gasket would work. Unfortunately the bolt spacing is 4 1/4 on the Grimmspeed and the SPT needs to be 4 3/4.

    Any suggestions on where to go from here? (2011 hatchback).

    He was just at Morrie's. We didn't have anything on hand. I am confused though as to why the parts guys didn't just order the damn thing lol.

    I was told to check Grimmspeed to see if they had anything. Is that a part that Morries could order? I wasn't sure. If it is I should have just done that in the first place haha

    From the sounds of it, SPT stuff only comes in a kit and that kit isn't always available. It's all the gaskets and bolts for the exhaust system and is almost $50. Honestly, I would say to make a gasket at this point. Maybe more exhaust savvy MnSubaru folk can shed some light on it but I wonder if you could just buy a GS gasket (since the inner diameter of the gasket is the same as what you need) and cutting the bolt holes on the gasket to accommodate for the wider bolt pattern. Everything should sync up the same and the hole should seal perfectly fine. I'll shoot a message to the tech that was working on your car to see what he thinks, mad scientist that he is.

    Ok I hope that will work. I have the GS gasket and have an appointment at Morrie's on Monday at 3. Is there anyone I should ask for specifically?

    Turns out there was not enough material to make the holes bigger on the GS gasket. Ended up ordering the SPT hardware kit from Morrie's.
