Jay - Y'know, when ya buy an exhaust system, any exhaust system, the supplier should provide the gaskets. I've gone round & round with some of my suppliers about this for the past year (Bugpack in particular). Anyway, head on down to the nearest FLAPS and buy VW Part # 043-251-509 (2 of 'em). They're triangular in shape and metallic in composition and this should bolt up yer new exhaust to the heater boxes on yer 78 Westy. Fits all buses 75-78. Paper gaskets aren't recommended, nor Permatex as the heat is just too high. We carry these gaskets @ about $3 ea. Prices could vary place to place. Jim / BusBoys@aol.com
