I have searched and searched and have no clear answer as to where I can get the upper and lower gaskets. the throttle body gasket I have found. any help is greatly appreciated.
RPM and HoodTuned are the 2 places to start with for ANYTHING SyTy related....

They were like 45.00 so yea not that bad. Everybody likes to exaggerate the prices from the dealer, not everything is expensive at the dealer.

F uck you buddy. You obviously don't know me very well. I NEVER EXAGGERATE SHIT. Here's the invoice, dickwad. Looks like I paid $83.91 in Dec 2002. Retail was 104.89 8 years ago. I did this from memory last night, but you call me out, I'll take the f uckin' hour to dig up the invoice. So yes, I was off a little. I'm sure the price has about doubled since then. Many of the parts I buy repeatedly have. (like the oil lines).
Line 1 are the intake gaskets.
Line 2 are head gaskets.

If you only paid 40 something, you didn't purchase the 12509697 SyTy set. Yes, there are other gaskets that fit, but for 40 bucks they aren't the aluminum sandwich SyTy Victor gasket.
Have a nice day. Go f uck with someone that doesn't know what they're talking about. I DO!
That was a little uncalled for. You will see that this forum is not like the other car forums. Most people here are over the age of 19 and this forum has a pretty low BS factor. Let's not turn this into a mustang or import forum and just go out looking to start trouble, whether you think someone is BSing or not...
...and I have worked in the service dept. for a chevrolet dealership in the past. I can honestly say that most (if not all) things are more expensive at the dealer:2cents:
In one of my businesses, I deal with dealer invoices daily. I see dealers jacking the list price to their general public customers. I have questioned the dealer and they admit it, (as I have them against the wall) that they apply a % to the list price and charge the customer. And this is to a customer that bought the car at the dealer, have it serviced there and have been faithful. If they only knew!! Like Dave said, bring the KY.
Note:not all dealers are guilty of this practice but some in my area def. are. Along with labor rates over $100/hr, maybe some should take muscle relaxers before going to the stealership as well as bringing their KY.
My advice, stick with the vendors mentioned on this board. They have great knowledge and are willing to provide advice when asked. Help support them and they will help you.
I think DaveP's response was way out of line. gstjohn was not disrespectful, nor did he personally attack DaveP. He simply said not everything at the dealer is expensive, and that could be true (it's just an opinion). I would also agree with him that a lot of people exaggerate dealer pricing (heck, I do it).
Out of line ? Lol, go cry to the Internet police I'm sure the term stealership was given to them for the great deals they give . Car and truck sales are down again , jacking up parts and labor is the only way some are able to keep their doors open .
