Check Realoem.com for part numbers. As far as pricing, AutohausAZ does a little better. You may be able to do still better, but they're the first place I looked.

Thanks. I'm a big fan of ahaz since even their free shipping is overnight to my house :)

I guess my questions should've been -- are the exhaust ports between different bores of M30 engine the same? From the part you referenced the answer is Yes.

Even B35s used the same exhaust gaskets/ports, although the intake was different. Yes, all M30 exhaust ports are the same.
