Neil, If you have a cove on both sides to accept the donut - then use it. It will outlast those exhaust gaskets. If you only have a cove on the inlet of the CAT, and not on the mating flange of the manifold, then I think you'll need to go with a gasket. -Ben > Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2008 12:31:18 -0700 > From: musomuso@GMAIL.COM > Subject: Install metal donut or gasket between pipe and cat inlet on Vanagon exhaust? > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > > Hi all. > > I bought an aftermarket cat.
