Whether your local NAPA has it in stock or not I don't know, but they do carry a metalic compression type gasket for exhaust systems that is similar to the OEM stuff used on alot of engines. Too they have a high temp "composite/paper" type gasket that isn't as good as the other stuff I mentioned but would work for a temporary repair. That said, I'd reuse the old gaskets before I'd try any kind of silicone sealer. On a typical exhuast setup like those found on motorcyclkes, etc the mate up isn't always perfect and a gasket is needed to make up the differences. Most silicone sealers aren't designed to fill in gaps but rather to seal the small imperfections on the gasket or mating flanges. So unless you have a really perfect fit I don't see any of them working as a stand alone gasket, especially right at the exhaust port where temps are the highest. Good luck.
