IMO on import applications it is always best to use oem gaskets. That attitude is pretty common in the repair industry, so I doubt there are even very many aftermarket gaskets available for a wrx. Probably a water pump, valve cover, and a head gasket. You may pay more for the aftermarkets too. I know napa sells valve cover gaskets for 2.5 na motors and they are over 100 a set. Napa sells victor reinz gaskets which are inferrior to Fel-Pro, (a division of federal mogul) which can be bought at Fats. That is the only aftermarket gasket (other than high-per. or special application i.e. aftermarket exhaust) I would ever trust.

I have noticed that some lower 48 stores sell genuine subaru parts for really low prices, lower than shop cost up here on a lot of things. I would start there.

Why do you need a gasket kit? I hope you aren't taking that engine apart for kicks, if something leaks address it not the whole thing. It prob. has a leaky oil pump for starters, that's only $15 in gaskets. When you buy a gasket kit you get enough stuff to split the case halves, something I have never attempted, cause at that point I always installed a shortblock.

No I need the head gaskets, intake, and all the exhaust because i had too check the heads and valves out to make sure they werent bent from the cam gears breaking in the accident.

Not sure if this is the same as stock or not, but I bet there are other good deals out there too. You don't need an entire set to r&r heads, Just buy the ones you need. It is always better to check the valves before install! good thinking.
