Downpipe install

[Abraham39]

Hi, i just received my punishment racing 2.5" downpipe in the mail and i noticed it doesn't come with any gaskets, I've already got a 2.5 high flow cat, and a 2.5 cat-back, so I'm trying to figure out what exhaust gaskets i need to connect my downpipe from my 02 housing to my cat? I'm just thinking two 2.5" gaskets? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Bring it to your local Autozone or whatever and ask them to find a gasket for it. You should bring it in with you to make it easier. They'll be nicer if you show up when it's not busy there. Normally something off a Ford V8 or something will fit. Just has to be 2.5" with somewhat-similar bolt holes. As long as the bolt holes are close, you can always cut or drill them bigger to make it fit easier.

I'll assume your cat already has a flange on it, so just get two gaskets. Otherwise, you could chop the flange off the the dp and connect it to the cat with a stainless band clamp from NAPA.
