    Hey, I installed my ScoobySport downpipe and cat delete pipe over the weekend and need to know what to do about the donut flange at the intermediate pipe. Will I be able to use a standard exhaust gasket like the one at the axel back or will I need to replace that whole pipe since its not a donut gasket? As it stands my car sounds like an old VW bug when I take off...lol.

    I would recommend using a flat gasket and flipping the donut gasket around as well. This will give you the best seal, otherwise you're going to be semi stuck with a small leak. I never flipped mine, the leak is barely noticable.

    thanks, sounds good, also a guy on nasioc told me he used 2 gaskets and it worked. Now to just find the gaskets. Classic was out and he said everytime they get them they sell out quickly.
