there are 2 different part numbers. Front and rear. They are different gaskets. Any K series VCG's should work though...

The thing is an AutoZone part number will probably be different from a Pep Boys and from a Kragens.<P>You can always go to a Mazda dealer. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Also, I need to edit it, because the lower exh manifold PN is wrong. It's for a Millenia 2.5L downpipe, which is lined up differently from the K8 down pipe.
