I have a blow coming from my headers. It looks like where the hose from the EGR valve meets the headers there is a split in the seal. But what is it called so I can get a new one? The header EGR valve hose seal gasket thing? I've looked on Rock auto and Summit but couldn't find the bit. Only new EGR valves, but I don't really want a new one of them. Or is there any other way of plugging the hole?
It's a 3.8 v6 1998 firebird.
what is this bit called?

Just a thought but could you use a use a universal gasket sheet and cut it to size maybe with some high temp sealant? Jegs.com often have items that are hard to come by so maybe worth a try there if you can work out what it is!

Re: what is this bit called?
Cutting up my own gasket is the conclusion I'm coming to as well. Although Jegs is a good idea. I always forget about them!
Where can I get high temp gasket from?

Re: what is this bit called?
I've heard good things about this company: www.ramgaskets.com
May be worth giving them a shout or maybe a look on ebay.
