    Right now i have a ebay down-pipe that is 3" and a 3" cat-less exhaust but the problem is even thought both are ebay and 3 inch one has a flat flange the other donut resulting in me going through gaskets every 2 months. does anyone know of a cheap 3" that has donut style or know where i could get a flat flange to have welded to my down-pipe. thanks.

    So wait - your aftermarket downpipe has a 3" donut gasket on it? I've never seen such a thing.

    Or are you saying that your catback has a donut flange on it?

    Have the downpipe cut and re-weld on a flat flange. That way you're kosher with 99% of the aftermarket exhausts out there.

    Else, get a Borla exhaust. They're a donut gasket made to mate to the stock (or a stock-style donut) downpipe.

    My turbo-XS system has a 3 inch donut gasket. It comes in this kit but is rather expensive if you're just looking for the gasket. I'm not sure if they sell just the donut gasket or not though...
