Default Gasket for Intermediate pipe

Just put my LT's on this week end (Thanks Ben) and the stock crush gasket for the IM pipe was missing. Now that the LT's are on the sound of that leak is worse. Does anyone know where I can find this gasket? Pepboys and Advanced Auto don't carry it.

are you talking about the 2 bolt flange at the end of the y-pipe?

that's strange it's leaking.
they are not suppose to require a gasket. maybe it's warped or something.

Maybe there wasn't a gasket but the muffler shop who put the exhaust on welded up the flange crooked cause it doesn't meet up flat. Thanks on the congrats Jordan. How are you coming along with the welding?

Just use some Ultra Copper RTV. I use that stuff to seal up my exhaust flanges, etc. And have had good results.

I got under it this morning and the flange almost meets, Maybe I'm just not used to the sound or it' resonating in the tips but I don't wanna dump the pipes after the muffler right now.
