Hi Shawn
If you are going to fit a backbox/midpipe, just fire gum the old gaskets untill you can obtain some new ones mate. If a manifold or up pipe is going on, fire gum simply won't cut it.
Hope that helps buddy.

Ah, this is a problem. Personally i'd wait till you got the correct items you need buddy, as it will only hamper performance.

You could try Halfords or an exhaust fitting centre.
