Hey, u can go to ur auto part stores and order a sheet of gasket that u trace/cut to fit. I wouldn't put exhaust parts together without some sort of gasket in between them.

Hmm... never thought about that. I didn't think Kragen offered that kind of service.
Anyway, I finished installing my Tanabe with the existing gasket 3 weeks ago. I'm pretty sure there are no leaks because I used Permatex on both sides of the gasket. Plus, I bolted it real tight.
As for the Y-Pipe to the secondary cat, I'm not too sure because there are no gasket. There is like a white rubber-ball shaped material built into the cat. I guess this acts like the gasket. Anyway, I torqued it till the springs compressed slightly more than the OEM. But not all the way as I read up on the previous exhaust threads.
