Default Truck manifold gaskets
What are the guys using for gaskets on the manifolds that go to the turbo merge pipe. Can't be doughnut gasket can it?

Not sure what exactly you mean but any metal gasket will be fine

IIRC, one side of my merge pipe required a doughnut gasket.

I just went to napa and had them get me the exhaust gaskets for a 2005+ 6.0L truck.

I just got the SCE copper ones from Kurt Urban when I bought the water vapor setup.

I need to know what to use from manifold to merge pipe. Oringally has a doughnut gasket. I was wandering if that was what guys were using or if there was another trick
