Truebendz Donut Gasket
So while trying to fix my leak at the front of my B&B exhaust, I noticed that the body shop must have replaced one of my donut gaskets with a stock one. The ones that came from my highflow cats were much thicker and would actually work without the extra steel gasket that B&B sent. The leak really seems to be on the side between their gasket and the exhaust pipe but I admit it's hard to tell.
Would anyone here know where to get a nice meaty donut gasket like the cats came with? I'm gonna try and call them tomorrow but I haven't seen the cats on their site in a while so I'm not sure how far I'll get with that.

I don't have any donut gaskets where the cat-back bolts up to cat pipes. It's just a ball-and-socket type joint, pulled together by a flange on either side. Back when my Mustang still had a stock type exhaust on it, it was the same way where the H-pipe bolted to the cat-back - no gaskets of any sort, just that ball-and-socket type joint.
Sounds like the high flow cat pipes you've got must have a different setup than the stock ones?

I knew those popped out on the stock pipes, but in my head that's not a "donut gasket". I think of donut gaskets as one of these fibrous ones like this, where the flanges are held together with spring bolts like so.
Anyway... So are you saying you're looking for something in addition to that piece? Or are you looking for the fibrous type gaskets to sandwich in there?

Fwiw, they also said they were going to start making the cat pipes again.
